Indiana Utility Commission Approves 2 New Gas-Fired Units for Duke

Cayuga Station, owned by Duke Energy, is a three-unit coal-fired power plant built between 1970 and 1993 in Vermillion County, Indiana. The existing plant produces up to 1,040 megawatts (MW) of electricity. Earlier this year, Duke filed a request with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) for permission to build two new gas-fired units at the Cayuga site to replace the coal-fired units (see Duke Energy Files to Build 2 Gas-Fired Power Plants in Indiana). The combined output of the new gas-fired plants would be 1,510 MW. The original plan was to build and commission the gas-fired plants first and then shut down the coal-fired plants. However, those plans changed (see Duke Agrees to Sell Coal-Fired Power Plant if Indiana OKs Gas Plant).
