GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) — Attorneys for Mississippi Power Co. and the Sierra Club spent nearly four hours in a Harrison County courtroom on Friday arguing about whether the economics of the power company’s Kemper County lignite plant make sense right now.
The Sierra Club is asking Chancery Court Judge Jim Persons to revoke the certificate the Mississippi Public Service Commission granted for the plant, saying the cost is too high, reports the Sun Herald. Mississippi Power argues the plant represents the most reliable and economical solution for ratepayers’ future power needs, the newspaper said.
