Error about Coleto Creek getting fixed on Environment Integrity Web site
In a report published not long ago, EnvironmentalIntegrity.org (EI) by mistake ranked Sempra Generation/Carlyle Riverstone's Coleto Creek Power Station as one of the dirtiest power plants in the United States in terms of carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions. The group will correct the faulty information in its report--and on all materials that follow.

“Coleto Creek Power Station is among the top-performing, baseload, coal-fired power-generating units in Texas,” says Michael Fields, plant manager. “The plant has a long record of environmental achievements, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental Excellence Award.”

EI’s calculations for Coleto Creek reflected an error that meant Coleto Creek was erroneously rated first on the Top 50 carbon-dioxide-emission-producing plants list. In fact, the plant should not have been included on the list.

Sempra Generation and Carlyle Riverstone acquired Coleto Creek from AEP in July 2004.
