During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the potential impact of two power plants in Kentucky projected to operate beyond 2030. Concerns were raised regarding the significant rate increases associated with these plants, which could range from 67% to as high as 97%. This steep increase in costs has raised alarms among officials, who emphasized that such rates would be unaffordable for ratepayers. The discussions highlighted the urgent need for a reassessment of energy strategies to ensure that future costs remain manageable for consumers.
