Hallador Energy Co

An Indiana-based energy company that mines the coal it burns. Through its Sunrise Coal subsidiary it is one of the state's largest coal producers, pulling bituminous coal from the Illinois Basin; through Hallador Power it owns the nearby Merom Generating Station, a coal-fired power plant, so fuel travels from its own mines to its own smokestacks. Born in the early 1950s as an oil company under names like Kimbark Oil & Gas Co., it later rebranded as Hallador Energy and runs both its mines and its power plant from Terre Haute, Indiana.
