About Smith Unit #1

EKPC is proposing to construct a 278-megawatt coal-fueled unit at J.K. Smith Station in the community of Trapp, in southern Clark County, Ky. Smith #1 is needed to meet growing demand for electricity among EKPC's members and the 500,000 Kentucky homes, farms and businesses they serve in 87 counties. It will incorporate cutting-edge technology to drastically reduce power plant emissions.
