LCG, Feb. 2, 2001--Mirant Corp., the former Southern Energy, said today it will build a 480 megawatt natural gas-fueled power plant in Rockdale, Ill., southwest of Chicago.

The company said it currently has about 12,500 megawatts in the U.S., with another 7,000 megawatts under advanced development.Despite the name change, Mirant is still 80 percent owned by The Southern Co.
