In 2010 the IPA and the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for trying to prevent a third coal-fired unit at the IPP generation site due to carbon dioxide emissions concerns.[4] The plant is scheduled to be converted to natural gas by 2025 at a cost of $500 million.[5]
