Kemper plant ruling expected Nov. 10
Mississippi Power presented its proposal to build a $2.2 billion lignite power plant to the Mississippi Public Service Commission last week.
Monday was the first day back in the office for Kemper economic development officials who attended the hearings.
With the first phase of hearings concluded, now officials are waiting to see when and if there will be a phase two.
“I think they demonstrated the need very well, in my opinion,” said Brian Henson, executive director of the Kemper Economic Development Authority.
Henson said he feels Mississippi Power will get the green light to move on to phase two of the process.
“I think just from my interpretation and from what I heard that they proved that there’s a need for the power,” said Henson.
