LG&E/KU’s current Mill Creek 5 page states a 645 MW nameplate rating, $902 million cost, construction underway and estimated completion in 2027. Its 2024 groundbreaking release used 640 MW; the current page is used for the primary output rating. EIA’s separate 740 MW figure is retained as inventory context, not extra generating capacity.[2][3]
Published project-specific cost for Mill Creek 5: USD 9.02e+08. Basis: Published project-specific capital/construction estimate. Published electric generating project rating for Mill Creek 5: 645 MW. Basis: Current operator page: 645 MW nameplate.[2]
LG&E and KU broke ground on Mill Creek 5 on November 13, 2024 and describe a 640 MW natural-gas combined-cycle unit expected in 2027. EIA’s August 2026 construction record independently supports ongoing work. The operator’s 640 MW project rating and EIA generator nameplate rating use different reported figures; retain both labels. November 13, 2024 groundbreaking verifies physical construction.[3]
Scope and evidence
Retained only with documented physical construction, commissioning or 2025–2026 opening and published project-specific costs and electrical output. Costs use the published scope and currency; no benchmark estimates or currency conversions. MW is power capacity, not annual electricity production. Expected annual energy, where given, is a forecast. The map point is a reported plant/project location and may be approximate. Matching inventory views and excluded expansion proposals are not additive capacity.
