Midwest Generation Cuts Emissions, Ups Output at Six Illinois Plants

摘要

In its first year of operating six coal-fired power plants in Illinois, independent power producer Midwest Generation significantly reduced air emissions while increasing the amount of electricity generated. The company plans further emission reductions this year. Headquartered in Chicago, Midwest Generation, a subsidiary of Edison Mission Energy, part of Rosemead, Ca.-based Edison International, acquired power plants in several Illinois cities including Chicago, Waukegan, Joliet, Romeoville and Pekin in December 1999.
