Brandon Presley (D) votes against $2.4 billion Kemper Plant
The Mississippi Public Service Commission voted Tuesday to give new approval for Mississippi Power Co.’s coal-fired power plant in Kemper County, pushing aside opponents’ calls for a fresh look at the plant’s finances.
The commission voted 2-1 to approve the $2.4 billion plant. Commissioners Leonard Bentz of the Southern District and Lynn Posey of the Central District, both Republicans, voted for the plant. Northern District Commissioner Brandon Presley, a Democrat, voted against it.
