History
Cane Run began operation on its first unit in 1954 and expanded to six units by 1969.[1] Its total generating capacity was 943 (MW).[1] Sulfur dioxide (Шаблон:Chem) scrubber technology, pioneered by LG&E, were installed at this plant in 1973.[1] President Jimmy Carter visited the plant in July 1979 to promote energy security during the 1979 energy crisis.[2] Units 1-3 were retired in 1987.[1] The power plant was mired in a lawsuit in 2013 from nearby residents over its dispersion of coal ash.[3] In preparation of converting to natural gas, Unit 6 was shut down in March 2015.[4] The final two units went offline in June 2015. At the same time, construction of Unit 7 was completed and began running on natural gas.[5] The former coal power plant structure was demolished by implosion on June 8, 2019.[6]
