PacifiCorp Scraps Its Plan to Build Utah Power Plant
Posted on: Saturday, 8 October 2005, 12:00 CDT
Portland-based PacifiCorp said Thursday that it will not build a natural gas-fired power plant in Utah in 2009, as originally planned.
The company, which operates in Utah as Utah Power, said the 500- megawatt plant is no longer needed due to lower overall demand, future transmission upgrades and third-party energy suppliers.
A proposed coal plant in Utah or Idaho to be operational by 2011 has been pushed back to 2012, according to Dave Eskelsen, a spokesman for the utility.
That plant could be called off if the company chooses to buy power from the Intermountain Power Project, add an existing unit to its Hunter power plant or add a fifth unit to its Bridger, Wyo., plant.
