The former plant is situated directly across the Ohio river from Petersburg, Boone County, Kentucky. Tanner's Creek was one of the two Indiana coal power plants owned by Indiana Michigan Power, a subsidiary of American Electric Power (the other plant being Rockport Generating Station near Rockport, Indiana).

On March 17, 2015, Indiana Michigan Power announced that the Tanners Creek plant would be completely shut down by May 31, 2015. The former plant was sold to St. Louis–based Commercial Development Company in October 2016. The Port of Indiana commission is studying converting the former plant into the state's fourth port.{{cite news|title=Power company sells former Lawrenceburg coal plant|first=Bowdeya|last=Tweh|work=The Cincinnati Enquirer|publisher=Gannett Company|date=October 6, 2016|accessdate=October 7, 2016|url=http://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2016/10/06/power-company-sells-former-lawrenceburg-coal-plant/91664212/}}
