2010: Alliant to close coal boilers at six sites
According to plans filed with the Minnesota Public Service Commission on November 1, 2010, Alliant Energy plans to close coal-fired boilers at six sites in Iowa:[1]
- Sixth Street Generating Station (all units) (Cedar Rapids)
- Prairie Creek Generating Station Unit 2 (Cedar Rapids)
- Dubuque Generating Station Unit 2
- Lansing Power Station Units 2 and 3
- Milton Kapp Generating Station Unit 1 (Clinton)
- Sutherland Generating Station Unit 2 (Marshalltown)
The plan also designates two boilers at Dubuque Generating Station and another at the Sutherland Generating Station for retirement in 2015. Of this list, only one boiler (Lansing 3) is currently operational, and the replacement generation will come in significant part from running newer coal boilers at higher capacity.[1]
