State regulators extend discussion of Kemper plant

State regulators are taking more time to discuss whether they should amend conditions placed on a proposed $2.4 billion coal-fired generating plant in Kemper County.

Last month, the Public Service commission approved the plant application by Mississippi Power Co., but with a lengthy set of conditions — conditions that Mississippi Power says would make it impossible to finance or construct the plant.

The commission voted Friday to extend the deadline for the company to decide if it would build its plant.
