VECTREN CORPORATION (NYSE:VVC) Files An 8-K Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events
Resource Planning (IRP) public stakeholder meeting on Tuesday,
November 29, 2016. Carl Chapman, Chairman, President and CEO, and
other members of the Company’s management team provided an
overview of the Company’s preferred integrated resource plan
(preferred plan). During the meeting, the Company proposed a
pathway to modify its electric generation portfolio over the next
two decades, which if implemented, will result in the
diversification of the generation fleet, that in the future, is
likely less reliant on coal. Further, the Company must comply
with a slate of federal mandates over the next several years, the
compliance costs of which have driven the IRP process to consider
alternative fuel sources. Among others, these regulations
include:
|
|
Coal Combustion Residual (CCR): Provides guidelines on coal
ash handling and disposal regulations around the use of ash ponds; and |
|
|
Effluent Limitations Guideline (ELG): Includes more
stringent limitations on wastewater discharges from coal-fired plants; this rule resulted from previous mandates related to air. |
$250 million to comply with the CCR and ELG rules which spurred
the consideration of other options due to the age of some of its
coal-fired generation.
Company’s website at www.vectren.com/irp. While the details of
the preferred plan are not yet finalized, a final IRP report is
expected to be submitted to the Indiana Utility Regulatory
Commission (IURC) for review in December 2016. Additional details
of the preferred plan are expected to be released publicly in
February 2017 and details of a finalized plan are expected to be
released in late summer of 2017.
IRP public stakeholder meeting is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K.
