The Power Plant will consist of two coal-fired generating units and auxiliary equipment. Each unit will have a pulverized coal-fired boiler and steam turbine-generator with a gross electrical ouput of 390 MW. : he plant was originally issued a permit for construction in 2003, which required that construction begin by July 2005. Although construction did not begin, the Montana Department of Environmental Quality extended the permit without public notification or review. The Montana Environmental Information Center (MEIC) currently has three lawsuits filed in regard to Roundup, and continues to fight its construction. The Bull Mountain Development Company may attempt a second proposal at this site for an IGCC facility. http://www.meic.org/energy/power_plants/roundup-power-plant-1/roundup-power-plant-background-info
