Sallisaw Project

Tenaska had planned to build a 660 MW coal-fired generating plant on the Sallisaw landfill. The plant would have burned coal from Wyoming’s Powder River Basin.

It was opposed by the Sequoyah County Clean Air Coalition.

Tenaska cancelled the plan in July 2007, citing rising steel and other construction costs.
