Marshall County lawmaker fears stakes too high to close Mitchell Power Station

Mitchell Power Plant
MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. — A state lawmaker from Marshall County believes his constituents need to know the stakes if a major coal fired power plant in northern West Virginia closes down.
For now, the American Electric Power Mitchell Power Station is due to close in 2028, but they have requested permission from the Public Service Commission to make upgrades which could keep the plant operating as far out as 2040. Those upgrades would require a rate increase, which would have to be agreed upon by the PSC.
