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.
