The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency denied a request by Power Holdings for an extension of their expired permit to build a coal-to-gas plant. A letter from the company requesting the extension failed to justify their delay or provide the technical information IEPA needed.
If the company chooses to move forward with the project in the future, they would have to begin the permitting process over again, including public review and the appeals process.
Combined with their recent statement about failing to find new investors, it looks as though this project is dead.
