In October 2012, Cleco Power announced that Evangeline was the winning bidder in Cleco Power’s 2012 Long-Term RFP, and in December 2012, Cleco Power and Evangeline executed definitive agreements to transfer ownership and control of Coughlin from Evangeline to Cleco Power. On March 15, 2014, Coughlin was transferred to Cleco Power with a net book value of $176.0 million. Cleco Power expects to finalize the rate treatment of Coughlin as part of its FRP extension proceeding before the LPSC, which is expected to be complete by the end of the second quarter of 2014.
