Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES




Status Of The Great Plains Coal

Gasification Project




Construction of the Great Plains coal gas-
ification plant in North Dakota was 95
percent complete and only about 2 weeks
behind schedule as of November 30, 1983.
Cumulative project costs were less than
originally estimated for this date.

Due to a drop in forecasted energy prices,
Great Plains, in September 1983, projected
that plant operations could result in large
after-tax losses and negative cash flows for
the sponsors. Great Plains notified the
Department of Energy that it was consider-
ing terminating its participation in the
project in the absence of additional federal
assistance. In this regard, additional assist-
ance in the form of price guarantees for the
project's synthetic natural gas are being
considered by the U.S. Synthetic Fuels
Corporation.
