Judge rules ICG owes Allegheny $104 million
On May 2, 2011, a trial court judge held that ICG’s Wolf Run subsidiary breached its coal supply agreement with Allegheny Energy and is liable for past and future damages and interest in the total amount of $104 million. Allegheny, the sole customer of coal produced at Wolf Run’s Sycamore 2 Mine, filed a lawsuit in 2006 claiming that Wolf Run breached a coal supply contract when it declared "force majeure" upon temporarily idling the mine in the third quarter of that year, and failing to ship thereafter the volumes referenced in the contract.[1]
