State Representatives Patrick Flannery and Derek Lewis are sponsoring House Bill 540 to construct two natural gas plants at the Big Sandy facility in Louisa, Kentucky. The project is a nine-figure construction initiative aimed at job creation and economic development in Northeast Kentucky.

The financing will utilize securitization, leveraging equity from the Mitchell Plant in West Virginia. Kentucky Power supports the proposal, citing the need for affordability and cost reduction over time.
