MERIDIAN — Mississippi Power Co. will ask state regulators to reconsider conditions they placed on the utility building a coal-fired generating plant in Kemper County.
The Public Service Commission last week approved the plant application but with a lengthy set of conditions — conditions that Mississippi Power said after the decision would make it impossible to finance or construct the plant.
The three-member Mississippi Public Service Commission voted 2-1 in favor of the proposal, detailing its decision in a 50-page document.
Mississippi Power spokeswoman Cindy Duvall said Tuesday that the company's request for a rehearing will include a brief on why the conditions in the PSC's order would not allow the company to act in a fiscally responsible manner.
The motion will also include an update on the parameters of the project, as well as alternatives for the commission to consider.
“We respect the work of the commission on a very complicated matter in difficult economic times. We hope they will reconsider these issues and work with us to find a solution to build the Kemper Project and keep rates for our customers as low as possible,” Duvall said.
The motion will be filed this week.
