- Kentucky Power filed regulatory plans tied to TeraWulf's proposed Muskie Data Campus in eastern Kentucky.
- The proposal includes new generation and transmission infrastructure, subject to approval by Kentucky regulators.
- Customer protections include planned rate offsets and winter bill credits if the agreement proceeds.
American Electric Power's Kentucky Power operating company filed plans on Friday, November 13, 2026, with the Kentucky Public Service Commission to support new electricity demand from TeraWulf's proposed Muskie Data Campus in eastern Kentucky. The filing also seeks to protect existing customers from the cost of serving the new load.
According to the AEP news release, the project could support up to 1 gigawatt of contracted demand in phases by 2029, subject to regulatory approval and construction schedules. Kentucky Power is seeking approval for a 760-megawatt combined-cycle natural gas facility near its Big Sandy generating unit and a new transmission substation.
Customer Benefits Remain Conditional
The proposed agreement would provide Kentucky Power customers with more than 500 million US dollars in fixed-cost rate offsets over its life. It also includes 100 million US dollars in winter bill credits for residential customers beginning in 2029 and continuing through the first 10 years of the contract, if regulators approve the filings.
The filing marks the next regulatory step after Kentucky Power and TeraWulf amended their agreement in October. Separate certificates are required for the generation facility and transmission infrastructure. Decisions could come as early as mid-2027, depending on the commission's review schedule.
