Address

Colorado Springs, CO
United States of America
Latitude: 38.8338816
Longitude: -104.8213634
Notes
Addition of one 150 MW Circulating Fluidized Bed coal combustion boiler with fully integrated, multi-layered emission controls to produce what is predicted to be the cleanest coal plant in the world.  Will demonstrate fuel flexibility for western & eastern coals, as well as waste coals. There was not a demonstrated need for this plant and Foster Wheeler was in a poor financial situation when this plant was abandoned. Would be located next to Nixon Power Plant.
