Southwester Electric Power Company has begun producing electricity at its $1.8 billion dollar coal fired plant in Southwest Arkansas.The 600 megawatt plant is located just east of Texarkana, and began supplying electricity to the regional electric grid yesterday afternoon. A hunting club which owns land around the plant and environmental groups had tried for years to stop the plant but withdrew lawsuits after winning some concessions from SWEPCO.
