City Utilities is a community-owned municipal utility serving more than 106,000 customers in southwest Missouri with electricity, natural gas, water, telecommunications and transit services.

The 300MWe (gross megawatt electric) PC steam generator will be designed to fire low-sulphur Powder River Basin coal. To burn this fuel as cleanly and efficiently as possible, the unit will be equipped with Foster Wheeler's advanced low-NOx (nitrogen oxides) burner system.

In addition, Foster Wheeler's selective catalytic reduction technology will be installed to reduce NOx emissions at the stack, and a flue gas scrubber will be used for sulphur dioxide reduction. Commercial operation of the plant is scheduled for the end of 2010.
