An outside audit says Big Rivers Electric Corp. should consider selling power plants that it doesn't need after losing its two largest customers.
Local media outlets report the audit was released Tuesday by the Kentucky Public Service Commission.
The independent review suggests that the company should explore the sale of both the D.B. Wilson power plant in Centertown and the Kenneth C. Coleman plant in Hawesville.
The audit says that Big Rivers will need to "move more aggressively in coming years" to mitigate the loss of the Century Aluminum smelters in Hawesville and Sebree.
In an email, company spokesman Marty Littrel told the Messenger-Inquirer newspaper that Big Rivers couldn't comment on the audit report.
Big Rivers is owned by three distribution cooperatives, which serve about 112,000 customers in western Kentucky.
