Ameren wants more time to clean up Illinois emissions | Midwest Energy News: "Ameren operates five coal-fired power plants in Illinois, having already shut down its smallest coal-fired plants in Hutsonville and Meredosia. It is midway through installing scrubbers on its 2,000 MW Newton generating station in southeastern Illinois, but says it cannot afford to finish the half-billion-dollar investment by the impending deadline. Without an extension to finish the Newton upgrades, it says, other plants would have to be closed to conserve resources. That could mean closing the 1,000 MW Joppa Energy Center in the state’s southern tip near the Kentucky border, or the E.D. Edwards Energy Center in Bartonville, Illinois."
