Does a power plant lake like Fayette county lake have any affect on the timing of the channels cat spawn.

They spawn when the water temps approach the 70*F-80*F mark. So yes, if the water is warmed from the PP, then the spawn may start earlier there than on other lakes in the region.

If you go read the TP&W lake survey for Fayette, you will see that if they spawn, none survive.

Obiewan might be able to help you on Fayette Lake spawn. I know it seems like it starts in March.

I hear on Fayette lake its real tough to catch channels on that lake in April because they are spawning, they aren't in the usually areas on the main lake.
