BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A Louisiana electric generating company, owned by NRG Energy Inc., has agreed to a settlement at its Big Cajun II coal-fired power plant, which will result in the elimination of more than 27,300 tons of emissions per year, federal regulators said Tuesday.

The U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said the proposed settlement involves Louisiana Generating’s New Roads-based facility.
