The company arrived at this decision as it was unwilling to spend additional capital on refueling the plant. In February this year, the company had modified the 2007 New Source Review Consent Decree that gave the company an option to either retire Muskingum River Unit 5 or refuel it with natural gas.
The company expects to incur a non-operating, pre-tax impairment charge for the unit in the range of $150 million to $170 million in the second quarter of 2013. However, this will not impact the company�� full year earnings guidance range of $3.05 to $3.25 and long-term earnings growth rate in the range of 4% to 6%.
Earlier, the company had announced that it will shut down Muskingum�� four other units. The closure of these units would affect approximately 95 employees. The company will either move these employees to other units or compensate them with severance benefits.
