Bechtel Begins Construction of 800-Megawatt, Gas-fired Generator in Ohio

SUGAR LAND--October 26, 2015--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Construction began this summer on a 700-megawatt (MW), natural gas combined-cycle (NGCC) generator in Carroll County, Ohio, one of five large, gas-fired power projects under development or construction in that state, with aggregate value exceeding $3 billion. These projects, which are expected to use gas extracted from either the Utica or Marcellus shales, are being developed to help replace coal-fired generation that is being closed due to tougher environmental regulation.
