Sierra Club files complaint over PacifiCorp-Bowie coal deal

The Sierra Club filed a complaint Monday with the California Public Utilities Commission alleging that PacifiCorp violated state law when it finalized a Utah coal supply agreement with Bowie Resource Partners.

Bowie announced the supply agreement June 5 in which it will supply coal for PacifiCorp's Huntington Power Plant in Utah through 2029 and acquire approximately 50 million st of undeveloped, high heat, low sulfur coal reserves in the state from a PacifiCorp affiliate.

The filing alleges that PacifiCorp moved forward with the supply agreement before getting approval from the state commission.
