Unit 1 went into service by 1972, unit 2 by 1974, unit 3 by 1978, and unit 4 in 1982. Mill Creek Generating Station is LG&E's largest coal-fired power plant. It consumes about 4.8 million tons of fuel annually. In 2024, the utility began construction on a 640-megawatt natural gas combined-cycle generating unit at the plant, expected to begin operations in 2027.
