KALAMA, Wash. (AP) — Energy Northwest dropped plans last year to build a power plant at Kalama that would have been fueled by converting coal and oil refining byproducts into a gas.
Now the Richland-based utility consortium is back with a plan to build a $400 million plant powered by natural gas at the Port of Kalama on the Columbia River near Longview.
KLOG reports Cowlitz County commissioners have agreed to start work on an environmental review.
If it gets permits, Energy Northwest hopes to start construction next year.
