PacifiCorp has approved an emissions control project that will update and improve sulfur dioxide, particulate and nitrogen oxide controls on its Huntington Unit 2, a 450-megawatt coal-fired power plant located in Emery County, about 140 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.
The total capital cost for the project is expected to be about $120 million.
When completed in 1974, Huntington Unit 2 was not required to install a scrubber to control sulfur dioxide emissions. The company is in the process of pre-qualifying contractors for the work and plans to have the project fully operational in 2007.
