Kentucky PSC Approves 214-MW Gas Peaker Plant in Casey County

Last November, the East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC), a nonprofit power generation and transmission electric utility with headquarters in Winchester, Kentucky, announced plans to build two new natural gas-fired power plants and convert its two existing coal-fired power plants to burn natural gas (see Kentucky Utility Plans to Build 4 New Gas-Fired Power Plants). One of the two proposed new plants is a 214-megawatt (MW) peaker plant in Casey County, KY. On May 20, the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) approved the Casey County peaker plant project.
