Southern Company, in partnership with the Orlando Utilities Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy, proposed to build a 285 MW IGCC coal plant at the Stanton Energy Center (existing) near Orlando, in Orange County, Florida. The project received a Department of Energy pledge of $293 million in long-term loans.[1]
In November, 2007, Southern Company took the unusual step of canceling the project two months after ground had been broken.[2] The company cited concerns that Florida Governor Charlie Crist would press for additional carbon controls.[3]
