Fraser said, "Our service area
includes Campbell county and
there's a strip of coal that runs
almost 100 miles right down the
center of that county, so there's a
lot of mining activity there. We
now have contracts to supply
electric power for eight of those
mines and eventually we will be
providing power to 15 or 16 coal
mines in the area."
