As stated at our past few annual meetings, power costs were going to go up and the time is upon us.  SIPC will start receiving power from Prairie State Energy Campus in 2012 and once that occurs, the repayment of debt associated with the building of the plant will take place.  The final cost of the plant will be around 480 million dollars and this will be paid over the next 30 years.  SIPC will have sufficient generation to cover our needs for the foreseeable future.
