Kentucky Coal Industry to Get Boost from $1 Billion Pollution Control Updates Project

The Street reported that a $1 billion project in upgrades to LG&E’s Mill Creek Generating Station to update pollution controls will create 700 construction jobs and will be a boon for Kentucky’s coal industry.

As quoted in the market report:

The upgrades at LG&E’s Mill Creek Generating Station in southwestern Jefferson County are expected to create about 700 construction jobs. The improved sulfur dioxide scrubbers will also allow the 1,400-megawatt plant to continue to burn coal by meeting stricter federal air regulations that go in force in 2016.
