Kentucky Power는 고객 절감 효과를 제공하고 켄터키주의 경제적 미래를 발전시킬 계획을 제출했다고 밝혔다고 Yahoo Finance가 보도했다.
ASHLAND, Ky., Nov. 13, 2026 -- Kentucky Power today filed plans with the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) to bring significant new economic development to eastern Kentucky while delivering direct financial benefits to existing customers and protecting them from the costs of serving new large-load customers.
The filings would support TeraWulf's planned Muskie Data Campus in Grayson, Kentucky, and the infrastructure needed to serve it. Over the life of the agreement, the project is expected to provide Kentucky Power customers with more than $500 million in fixed-cost rate offsets and $100 million in winter bill credits for residential customers.
"Our commitment to eastern Kentucky goes beyond providing reliable electricity," said Cindy Wiseman, president and chief operating officer of Kentucky Power. "We've served these communities for generations, and we want our customers and communities to share directly in the benefits when new investment comes to the region. Eastern Kentucky has a tremendous opportunity ahead, and thoughtful growth can strengthen our electric system, support good jobs and attract new investment."
Supporting eastern Kentucky's economic growth
Kentucky Power announced its amended agreement with TeraWulf in October, and today's filings mark the next step in seeking the regulatory approvals needed to move the project forward.
TeraWulf's planned Muskie Data Campus is expected to support up to 1 gigawatt of contracted electric demand in phases by 2029, subject to regulatory approval and construction schedules. To reliably serve that demand, Kentucky Power is seeking approval to construct a new 760-MW combined-cycle natural gas facility next to its Big Sandy natural gas generating unit in Louisa and a new transmission substation in the EastPark Industrial Park area.
The planned Muskie Data Campus also is expected to generate new economic activity through infrastructure investment, construction activity, permanent jobs and new tax revenue for local communities.
Delivering benefits for existing customers
If approved by the PSC, TeraWulf will fund $100 million in winter bill credits for Kentucky Power's residential customers beginning in 2029 and continuing over the first 10 years of the contract.
Kentucky Power has signed the White House Ratepayer Protection Pledge, reaffirming its commitment that growth should pay for growth while delivering long-term value for existing customers. Additionally, Kentucky Power's large-load tariff requires data centers to provide financial backing for the cost to serve their projects before they connect to the grid.
