The Public Utility Commission of Texas on Friday morning granted a request by Southwestern Electric Power Co. to move forward with plans to build a new power plant in Southwest Arkansas and allow Texas customers to help pay for the plant, according to Terry Hadley, PUC spokesman.
The three member commission voted 2-1 in favor of SWEPCO’s application seeking a permit for convenience and necessity. The John W. Turk Jr. Power Plant has an estimated price tag of $1.52 billion.
