LEGAL NOTICE
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A PETITION
BY APPALACHIAN POWER COMPANY,
FOR APPROVAL OF A CLOSURE PLAN
FOR THE GLEN LYN PLANT PURSUANT TO
§ 10.1-1402.04 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA
CASE NO. PUR-2026-00007
On February 9, 2026, Appalachian Power Company (“APCo” or “Company”) filed
a petition (“Petition”) with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to
§ 10.1-1402.04 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”), for approval of its plan for closure of the
coal combustion residual (“CCR”) units at APCo’s Glen Lyn Plant in Giles County (“Glen Lyn
Closure Plan”). Pursuant to Code § 10.1-1402.04 I, the Commission is required to “issue its
final order with regard to any such petition within six months of its filing, and in doing so shall
determine whether the utility’s plan for CCR unit closure, and the projected costs associated
therewith, are reasonable and prudent . . . .”
APCo states that its Glen Lyn Plant is a former coal-fired electric generating facility
which operated from 1914 to 2015. According to the Company, the facility contains four CCR
units for which APCo did not submit notification of completion of a final cap to the Department
of Environmental Quality prior to January 1, 2019. Therefore, APCo asserts that Code §
10.1-1402.04 requires the Company to remove the CCR contained in the four CCR units for
beneficial reuse or to dispose of it in a permitted landfill that includes a composite liner and
leachate collection system.
APCo states that it is not currently seeking recovery of any costs for the Glen Lyn Closure
Plan through its Petition. The Company estimates that when it does seek cost recovery for
the Glen Lyn Closure Plan, after approval by both Virginia and West Virginia, the average
annual revenue requirement, assuming a recovery period of 11 years, from 2027 to 2037,
will be approximately $30.9 million, with Virginia’s jurisdictional share being approximately
$14.4 million. The Company asserts that based on the estimated average annual revenue
requirement, the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kWh a month would increase by
$1.06 or approximately 0.6%. APCo also states that if the Glen Lyn Closure Plan is approved
in Virginia for compliance with Code § 10.1-1402.04, but denied in West Virginia, the Company
will seek to assign the West Virginia share of the costs to customers in Virginia. Therefore,
APCo represents that an increase in the Virginia retail jurisdictional revenue requirement of
$30.9 million would increase the monthly bill for a residential customer using 1,000 kWh by
$2.28, or approximately 1.4%.
Interested persons are encouraged to review the Petition and supporting documents for
further details of APCo’s proposals.
An electronic copy of the public version of the Petition may be obtained by submitting a
written request to counsel for APCo: Elisabeth M. Bruce, Esquire, American Electric Power
