AES Shady Point Generation Plant

Shady Point Generation Plant is a coal-fired power station owned and operated by AES near Panama, Oklahoma. On February 17, 2009, AES announced that it had withdrawn its air permit application for the proposed AES Shady Point II unit, which would have added a new 650 megawatt unit at the same location. Company spokesman Lindy Kiger explained the decision to cancel the project as "part of our broader strategy to re-evaluate our growth plans."
