Notes

burns Appalachian coal from MEPCO surface mine in Greene County PA Longview has proposed to construct a 600 megawatt (MW) (net) power generation facility with interconnection to Allegheny Energy Supply Company lines. The pulverized coal supercritical boiler burning 2.5 percent sulfur (nominal) bituminous coal would operate with a once-through, balanced draft, single reheat steam turbine/generator. A natural gas-fired auxiliary boiler would be used to supply startup steam to the main boiler. Longview will be a 769 MW (nameplate, 695MW net) single-unit supercritical cycle pulverized coal-fired mine-mouth generating facility located in Maidsville, West Virginia near the Monongahela River This would be first coal plant to have mercury CEMs; Morgantown Dominion Post as cited in EnviroPolitics Newsletter 03-13-2003 http://www.genpower.net/index.php?act=1070 see: http://www.nolongview.org/CALP-web-NewsRelease-06-27-06.pdf
