Flint Creek Power Plant

Flint Creek Power Plant is a base load, coal fired, electrical power station located west of Gentry, Arkansas in Benton County, Arkansas.

The lone unit uses coal mined from the Powder River Basin shipped via Kansas City Southern Railway. The output is owned jointly half and half by SWEPCO/AEP and Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corp.

As part of the project, SWEPCO constructed a 100’ high dam on Little Flint Creek to create a reservoir to provide cooling water to the plant. The reservoir, known as Lake Flint Creek or SWEPCO Lake, provides fishing opportunities and is open to the public.
