Western Kentucky Energy will invest USD 70 million in Hancock County’s Coleman Generating Station this year, when the company begins installing emission control equipment at the plant. The company, a subsidiary of LG&E Energy, plans to instal a flue gas desulphurisation system – commonly known as a “scrubber” – at the plant. The equipment should be fully installed in 18 to 22 months. The company said the scrubbers will cut Coleman Generating Station’s sulphur dioxide emissions by 75%, or by more than 35,000 tons. Bennett said the company decided to add the scrubbers to the plant for both economic and environmental reasons.
