Tom Smith (86th district) and Chris Fugate introduced House Joint Resolution 77, asking EPIC to study coal assets and energy options in Eastern Kentucky and report back. Sponsors said EPIC's existing mandate and recent staffing make it well positioned to undertake the work, and members noted EPIC is already conducting related statewide energy planning.
Representative Miles and others said EPIC has been engaged on similar topics and the resolution formalizes a request to focus on Eastern Kentucky’s generation and transmission context. The committee voted the resolution favorably and the chair said the resolution "should pass on the House floor."
