Summary
Appalachian Power’s CEO Abraham is doubling down on power expansion, snapping up a coal plant and securing permits for a new gas facility—claiming these moves will actually lower rates for average customers. He argues that massive new data center clients, set to sign on in droves, will absorb excess generation and offset costs, reversing the trend where shrinking industrial users left residential bills climbing.
