LCG, December 18, 2025--RWE and Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M), an American Electric Power (AEP) company, today announced their partnering to provide new wind power generation capacity online to meet Indiana’s growing electricity demand. The companies signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the total output from RWE’s 200 MW Prairie Creek wind project in Blackford County, Indiana. I&M will purchase electricity from the wind project, which will further diversify its portfolio and be consistent with its all-of-the-above strategy to secure generation for its rapidly growing electricity demand.

Expansion of Cleco's Rodemacher Power Station Advances
LCG, February 9, 2006--Foster Wheeler Ltd. announced today that a U.S. subsidiary within its Global Power Group was awarded a contract for the design and supply of two circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) boilers planned for the Rodemacher Power Station, which is owned by Cleco Power, the utility subsidiary of Cleco Corp. The construction of the boilers is scheduled to start this spring, and the project is scheduled to commence commercial operations in July 2009.Cleco announced plans to build a new, coal-fired power plant in July 2005, with the primary site being the existing Rodemacher Power Station near Boyce, Louisiana. Cleco filed plans has for the project with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC).The electric generating capacity of the proposed plant expansion has increased slightly from 600 MW to 660 MW. The boilers are designed to burn a wide range of solid fuels and to deliver steam to a single, 660-MW, reheat turbine. The plant, estimated to cost approximately $1 billion, could be fueled by western coal from the Powder River Basin, lignite from the state of Louisiana, and petroleum coke, which is a waste byproduct of crude oil refinement.The new, coal-fired plant is part of Cleco's strategy to reduce reliance on generation fueled by natural gas. Seventy percent of the electricity Cleco currently generates is derived from plants fueled by natural gas, and Cleco estimates it may save customers more than $4 billion over 30 years.The existing Rodemacher Power Station includes two units with a total capacity of 963 MW. Unit 1, with a capacity of 440 MW, is owned by Cleco Power and is fueled by natural gas and low-sulfur fuel oil. The initial start-up of Unit 1 was in 1975. Unit 2, completed in 1982, is jointly owned by Cleco Power, Louisiana Electric Power Association and Lafayette Utilities System. Unit 2 has a capacity of 523 MW and is fueled primarily by coal from the Powder River Basin.
