HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) - A report by energy consulting firm HDR recommended that the James DeYoung Power Plant be converted from a coal-fired facility to a 114-megawatt natural gas-powered combined cycle operation. The document concludes that, doing this in a three-year time frame, would give the Holland BPW “the greatest return on its (182 million-dollar) investment, both fiscally and environmentally.” The report was disclosed in a special joint work-study session of the BPW Board and the Holland City Council last night. Public hearings on the report are slated for the evenings of September 4^th and 5^th at the DoubleTree Hotel.
