Problems persist for Mississippi Power in Kemper County

STARKVILLE, MS -- Mississippi Power’s struggles persist as the Southern Company subsidiary announced that its controversial Kemper County energy facility is not yet fully operational.

The company said in a media statement that the monthly status report on the 582-megawatt electric power plant is due to be submitted to the Mississippi Public Service Commission Thursday and the company is still assessing the project’s schedule and cost.

During the life of project, Mississippi Power has partnered with 560 companies within the state, including contractors, suppliers and vendors. The contracts are valued at more than $2 billion.

Mississippi Power is expected to file its monthly project status with the PSC on Monday, which will provide a full update on the facility’s progress. A rate filing is also expected to accompany the project status report.
