AES Return Questionable at Best

Is there a chance that AES could return to Mexico Farms to run an industrial plant?  Allegany County Commissioner Bill Atkinson addressed the issue on Friday’s Dave Norman Morning Show.

“Nothing more than we knew before, that there was some federal money that was offered out there to restart coal fired plants. Even with that money, my understanding AES would still have to put considerable funding into the plant.”

Commissioner Atkinson added that AES has changed its business model in recent years.

“AES as a corporation got out of the coal burning business across the country. So, whether they want to get back into it or not, we haven’t been able to get any answer from them for that.”
