US Georgia Power will extract and transport over a period of 6 years about 2 Mt of coal ash currently stored at its former Arkwright coal-fired power plant in Macon, Georgia, which has been retired in 2002. For this plant a permit has been received to treat the water generated by the removal of the plant’s CCR units (Coal Combustion Residual). After dewatering, the ashes shall be transported by truck to Georgia Power’s nearby 1540 MW Branch power plant (photo) in Milledgeville, which had been retired in 2015 and where ECO Material Technologies has a contract to harvest 0.6 Mta of ashes for use in the cement and concrete industry starting in 2026.
