Schneidewind
BENTON – Prairie State Generating and a Kentucky business settled a claim that exterior wall panels at Prairie State’s power plant in Washington County failed.
The power company and panel provider Centria announced an agreement to Senior U.S. District Judge Phil Gilbert on March 25.
They followed through with a joint stipulation on March 29.
Files show the plant cost $28 million including $4.6 million for the panels.
Prairie State retained David Schneidewind of Boyle Brasher in Belleville, and he sued Centria in Washington County circuit court in 2018.
The suit claimed general contractor A.C. Dellovade contracted with Centria to design and manufacture panels, and Centria provided a warranty to cover the finishing coat for 20 years.
