East Kentucky Power Cooperative

East Kentucky Power Cooperative is looking to add new natural gas plants across Kentucky.

Kentucky’s Public Service Commission held a public hearing Tuesday to get input on a proposal that would see a solar farm built in eastern Fayette County.

A plan to build a 40 megawatt solar farm in east Fayette County is seeing pushback from both the city of Lexington and land-use advocates with the Fayette Alliance.

Two new solar farms in Fayette County and Marion County are being planned for construction by the East Kentucky Power Cooperative.
