Aug. 14, 2023
People from across Western Kentucky voiced their concerns over a proposal to close several coal plants.
In Madisonville, the Public Service Commission hosted a public comment session Monday to address a recent proposal from Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities.
Officials said the proposal is to have four coal plants retired and replaced with natural gas and solar options. The Public Service Commission is a state commission that would approve or deny this action, and Monday night was a chance for people in the Tri-State to give their input.
