 A WIN EVERY WEEK IPL investment in environmental controls approved
The Indiana Utilities Regulatory Commission (IURC) yesterday gave its approval of IPL's MATS (Mercury and Toxic Standards) plan to invest $511 million in new environmental controls that will reduce mercury emissions by approximately 80 percent at its Petersburg and Harding Street coal-fired power generating plants.
"Many people have gotten us to this point," said IPL President Kelly Huntington. "This has truly been a team effort with leadership and participation from people in Power Supply, Regulatory/Government Affairs, Legal/Environmental, Public Affairs, Finance, Sourcing and more."

A MARKET FOCUS
Puerto Rico Senate officials cite Guayama plant as 'model that works best'
Leveraging our electricity platforms and knowledge to provide energy and infrastructure solutions in our markets of choice is one of the reason the AES coal plant in Guayama has been described as " the model that has been found to work the best," Senate President Eduardo Bhatia and Senate Treasury & Public Finance Committee Chairman José Rafael Nadal Power. The two senate officials are pushing the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) to pursue the construction of private, natural- gas power plants rather than going further into debt by investing millions in retrofitting old, inefficient plants.
