Turk Plant Permit Denied by SC

The Arkansas Supreme Court just reversed the Arkansas Public Service Commission's approval of the Turk power plant in southwest Arkansas. In a ruling released this morning, the court reversed a decision by the to grant a permit for the Southwest Electric Power Co.'s $1.6 billion plant near Fulton in Hempstead County. The ruling sends the case back to the PSC.

The justices said the PSC should not have opened a docket on the need for power, separate from the docket on the request for the plant permit. Chief Justice Hannah wrote that determining the need for additional power is integral to determining the basis for the need for the proposed facility. Here's more from Arkansas Business.

1. what % of the construction is already completed ?
(i assume it is greater than 50%)

2. can SWEPCO change the classification of the plant to 'merchant' and sell the power on the open market ? (and thereby skirt additional hearings/rulings?)

3. can the PSC require the installation of the latest filtering technologies as a condition for ultimate permit approval ?

(many thanks in advance, answer at your convenience)
