According to a news release, the event will bring down the plant’s 12-story main boiler building and 525-foot chimney stack, marking the most visible phase of the site’s ongoing decommissioning.
The 650-megawatt plant, jointly owned by Cleco and SWEPCO, was decommissioned in 2021 after operating for more than 30 years as Louisiana’s only lignite-fueled power station, according to the news release.
Crews will use engineered explosive techniques to safely fell the structures, with law enforcement and environmental monitors on-site. The project also includes dismantling additional facilities and recycling materials for future redevelopment.
The site is expected to be repurposed for renewable energy use, including plans for one of Louisiana’s largest solar installations.
