- Description: Mitchell (WV) is a two-unit conventional coal station in Marshall County, West Virginia; both units entered service in 1971. Kentucky Power and Wheeling Power each hold a 50% ownership interest. Ohio Power was the predecessor owner, transferring a 50% interest to Kentucky Power at the end of 2013 and the other 50% through AEP Generation Resources to Wheeling Power at the end of 2014. Wheeling Power replaced Kentucky Power as plant operator in September 2022, while Kentucky Power remains a co-owner. In December 2025, Kentucky regulators approved investments intended to preserve Kentucky Power’s 50% entitlement to capacity and energy after December 31, 2028. — Source · confidence: medium
