Press Releases

Peabody Energy today announced that Thoroughbred Energy has opened a local office in the Career Advancement Center in Central City.

The office is open Monday through Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and provides a local resource for questions and vendor opportunities for the Thoroughbred Energy Campus, Peabody's planned joint venture consisting of a 1,500-megawatt coal-based electricity generating plant and underground mine.

The Thoroughbred Energy Campus would create about 500 permanent jobs through the generating facility and coal mine. Once on-line, the operations are expected to inject $80 million in direct economic benefits over the plant's 40-year life. Thoroughbred is modeled to be the cleanest coal-based power plant of its size east of the Mississippi River.
