IEEFA Predicts More M-U Gas-Fired Power Plants to Get Cancelled

The Beech Hollow Power Plant in Robinson Township (Washington County), PA broke ground on construction for a 1,000-megawatt Marcellus-fired project last fall when they began to pour concrete. However, construction stopped. The builder, Robinson Power Company LLC, wanted to resume construction but got caught up in a controversy over issued and withdrawn permit applications. The leftwing radicals at the Clean Air Council (located on the other side of the state, in Philadelphia) challenged a permit by the DEP to allow Robinson Power to resume construction. A few weeks later Robinson, tired of repeated lawsuits, threw in the towel and canceled the project (see Antis Defeat SWPA Beech Hollow Gas-Fired Power Plant Project). The left-wing Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) is warning Beech Hollow won't be the last planned gas-fired power plant project in the Marcellus/Utica to get canceled.
