On completion of the expansion, power produced would have been enough for 100,000 homes.
The project was originally estimated at $250 million but grew to $440 million before PPL pulled the plug in December 2008.
We haven’t made a decision, PPL Spokesman Bryan Hay said.
At the time, officials at PPL expected to draw on area business for some of the work, including the large Voith Siemens Hydro Power Generation GmbH & Co. KG providing the turbines.
But when business loans and materials got expensive in late 2008, the company could no longer afford to go forward.
Hay said that he could not get into specifics on how or when the project could begin again, if PPL did decide to move forward.
Hay also said there was nothing specifically identified in the stimulus at this time that could green-light the project.
