Download Full Report
Key Findings
OMU’s retail annual peak loads and energy sales have been relatively flat since at least 2004. As a result, the Elmer Smith Station (ESS) is generating more power than Owensboro needs.
OMU currently intends to shut down Elmer Smith Station Unit 1 in 2019.
The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis has reviewed a number of publicly available documents on the economics of the continued operation of Owensboro Municipal Utility’s coal-fired Elmer Smith Station (“ESS”). These documents include:
- The Draft 2015 Integrated Resource Plan Update, presented at a Utility Commission work session on September 3, 2015.
- The Executive Summary for the 2015 Integrated Resource Plan.
- A February 4, 2016 presentation on its recent Power Supply Analysis.
