SnapshotAll production from the South Hallsville No. 1 (Sabine) is delivered to Southwestern Electric Power Company's Henry W. Pirkey Plant. SWEPCO is an American Electric Power company.

As a result of the early retirement of the Pirkey Plant, Sabine ceased deliveries in March 2023 and final reclamation began on April 1, 2023. Reclamation is expected to be complete by September 30, 2026.

On October 1, 2026, SWEPCO will acquire all of the capital stock of Sabine and complete the remaining mine reclamation.
