The Lansing Board of Water and Light, which provides electric service to 97,000 customers in Lansing, Lansing Township, and Delta Township, plans to issue about $250 million of tax-exempt bonds to finance construction of a new $182 million electric and steam-generating plant.

The board will vote this month on the first in a series of rate increases that will be used in part to pay off the bonds associated with the new gas-fired facility, according to a report in the Lansing State Journal.

The board plans to hold a public hearing on the new plant and the rate increases, with a vote scheduled for the last week in January.
