  1. Three months of so called planned maintenance!!!!!! Duke blowing their proverbial gasification snake up the 820000 ratepayers hind ends. What a crock!!!! And, the “surprise after surprise” maintenance issues tells me the engineering design and construction of the plant was slipshod; obviously so because of the cost overruns. Oh, and the cost overruns, we just now know of we’re apparently due to adding dual-fuel source to the plant. Talk about another surprise. And now, 3 months worth of so-called maintenance surprise is likely just Duke’s way of recouping their monies for the construction cost overruns. Yes, as usual, sneaky Duke sticking the ratepayers again. How many design engineering errors and omissions were incurred at Edwardsport and as such those were all just simply accepted by Duke? Pass ‘em along to the ratepayers, they’ll never know any better. When will IURC start playing hardball with Duke? Buddy-buddy relationship in the way, I suppose. What other surprises are we going to get slammed with from Duke coming out of their boondoggle Edwardsport fiasco? And, to the IBJ writer, I wouldn’t be to proud to claim that Duke is Plainfield-based. All the decision making comes out of the home offices in North Carolina. Monopolies always win.
