Pacific Ethanol may begin producing ethanol again in just over a month. The Burley, Idaho plant filed Chapter 11 bankrupcy in May of this year but are now seeking permission to restart the plant that was stopped in February.
“We’re expecting some good news,” said Pacific Ethanol Inc. Vice President Paul Koehler.
According to the Time-News, Koehler said an upturn in the ethanol market prompted the decision to reopen the Burley plant.
The bankruptcy court will review plans to restart the plant at a Dec. 14 hearing and the company expects the lenders, who provide debtor-in-possession financing for the Burley plant, to support the plan.
Koehler said the plant will hire 35 to 40 employees, which would put it at full staff. “We pretty much need that many people for the plant to be in operation,” Koehler said.
The plant’s management was kept intact but the company will hire plant operators, a maintenance crew, commodity managers and lab technicians, along with other positions.
