The Messenger-Inquirer reports the utilities announced on Tuesday that they were pulling out of the venture planned in Muhlenberg County, but said they intend to keep pursing a solar generating facility.
A statement from the companies said the move came after nine municipal utility customers gave notice that they intend to terminate wholesale power contracts with KU in 2019.
Muhlenberg County Judge-Executive Rick Newman was disappointed. He said the jobs would have made up for the job losses expected at a coal-fired power plant that is slated to close.
