LG&E Power Plant Decommissioning

About this Project

Louisville Gas & Electric

Mill Creek Power Plant

Decommissioning a power plant requires careful planning through site assessment and execution to ensure safe and effective demolition implementation. Demo Plus did just that as it worked to decommission the Mill Creek power plant as it was being converted from a coal burning plant. Parts of the old plant continued to be operational as we decommissioned other parts and while the new power plant was being built. The power plant was never non-operational.
