EKPC CEO Campbell speaks at White House event to protect reliable electricity

Tony Campbell, CEO of East Kentucky Power Cooperative, joined President Donald Trump for the signing an executive order aimed at preventing coal-fired power plants from being prematurely shut down. 

“America must keep coal plants open and running to ensure reliable electricity when we need it most,” Campbell said. “To meet growing demand over the next decade and ensure fuel security, America will need more always-available power, such as coal.”

Campbell was joined by representatives of electric cooperatives across the nation, including Jim Matheson, CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).
