Longview Power Plant is the cleanest, most efficient coal-fired power plant in the state PJM Interconnection and one of the most efficient in the United States, [1] [2] producing net megawatts of electric power. The Longview Power plant includes a new air pollution control system that results in emissions that are among the lowest in the nation for coal plants. The Longview Power plant is fully integrated with its fuel source, utilizing "run-of-mine" coal, and thus avoiding the added cost and environmental impacts of fuel preparation.

Mepco, an affiliated fuel supplier, transports coal from its underground mine to Longview by a 4. In early the company reached a comprehensive settlement of all construction claims, and two of its major contractors agreed to remediate plant defects at their own expense.

Longview and Mepco are described as exemplifying the new era in the coal and power industry. They operate at a profit in a challenging economy and provide employment for miners and power plant workers, producing electricity efficiently and using as many filters as possible to reduce carbon emissions, the article states.
