Dominion Energy has changed its mind in partnering with Anker Energy
Corporation in building a $600 million power plant near the site of an old
Island Creek coal mine at Tenmile. The company said the economics did not
support the vision for the project.
The 450-megawatt power station involved burning coal from Anker's nearby
mine.
The project supported by the Upshur Commission would have brought 75
jobs to the area.
Anker Energy will continue looking for other investors.
