Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | (15) MEROM ACQUISITION On February 14, 2022, Hallador Power signed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”), with Hoosier, a rural electric membership corporation organized and existing under the laws of the state of Indiana. Under the APA, Hallador Power acquired the Merom power plant, along with: equipment and machinery in the power plant; materials inventory; a coal purchase agreement; a coal combustion certified coal ash landfill, certain generation interconnection agreements, and coal inventory (collectively, the “Acquired Assets”). Additionally, contemporaneous with entering into the APA, Hallador Power entered into three other agreements with Hoosier comprised of (1) a Power Purchase Agreement (the “PPA”), (2) a Coal Supply Purchase Agreement (the “Coal Purchase Agreement”), and (3) a Closing Side Letter agreeing to a reduction in future capacity payments of $15.0 million (“Capacity Payment Reduction”). The purchase price for the Acquired Assets also consisted of the assumption of the power plant’s closure and post-closure remediation, valued at approximately $7.2 million; no cash was paid by Hallador Power to Hoosier to effectuate the APA other than payments totaling approximately $17.0 million for coal inventory on hand, with an initial payment of $5.4 million and subsequent periodic payments over time, subject to post-close adjustments based on actual on-site inventories. The acquisition closed on October 21, 2022. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC Topic 805-50, Business Combinations as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets.
