Plant McIntosh

Plant McIntosh began commercial operation in 1979 in Effingham County, Georgia and was retired in 2019. Prior to retirement, the coal-fired unit was capable of producing 160 MW of electricity. There are two natural gas combined cycle units and eight simple cycle combustion turbines remaining onsite.

Ash Pond Dewatering Plan

The company prepares and submits an ash pond dewatering plan to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division for its approval. This site-specific plan identifies the enhanced water treatment system, controls and monitoring that will be used during the closure process to ensure that the water discharged is fully protective of a receiving stream's water quality.

Ash Pond Dewatering Results

Discharged water is being actively sampled in compliance with federal and state regulations. Data results will be updated as the process continues.
