Huge piles of abandoned waste coal from historical mining operations in Pennsylvania pose a threat to the state’s water quality and public safety. While technologies are available to enable companies to burn the waste coal to produce electricity, due to the current availability of relatively low-cost shale gas, challenges remain to make this type of electric generation commercially viable.
Scrubgrass Generating Power, located on a 650-acre site in northwest Pennsylvania, sells power generated from waste coal to the PJM grid. The 87 MW plant also helps reduce pollution by burning waste coal from abandoned sites before acids can leach into the groundwater.
Over its 25 years of operation, the plant has eliminated more than 15 million tons of waste from the land, saving the state more than $20 million dollars.
Initially, the company operated under a 20-year fixed power agreement that enabled it to operate competitively while paying off the construction bonds. This agreement ended in 2011, forcing the plant to compete with gas turbine plants that could take advantage of relatively low-cost shale gas from the Marcellus and Utica Shale regions.
