Westmoreland Coal has amended an agreement with PacifiCorp to sell an additional approximate 1 million short t of coal during 2018 than previously expected. The additional sales are the result of PacifiCorp’s plan to extend its Naughton Unit 3 operations through the end of 2018.
“We are pleased to have the benefit of Naughton 3 running an additional year,” said Kevin Paprzycki, Westmoreland’s Chief Executive Officer. “We enjoy a strong relationship with PacifiCorp and are pleased that our collaborative effort yielded a positive result for both of us and the local Kemmerer community.”
Westmoreland serves PacifiCorp through its Kemmerer mine, part of its affiliate Westmoreland Resource Partners, LP.
