Energy Companies Developing Mega Coal-Fired Power Projects in Meigs County Ohio

Two separate coal-fired generation projects are under development in Meigs County, Ohio, totaling 1,600-megawatts of potential baseload electrical generation

Released Tuesday, November 08, 2005


Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Two separate coal-fired generation projects are under development in Meigs County, Ohio, totaling 1,600-megawatts of potential baseload electrical generation. These projects represent $2.1 billion in total investment value. The larger project involves three companies formed to support municipalities, studying the construction of a two unit coal-fired power station near Letart Falls, Ohio. American Municipal Power-Ohio, Incorporated (AMP-Ohio) (Columbus Ohio), Blue Ridge Power Agency, Incorporated (BRPA) (Danville, Virginia), and Michigan South Central Power Agency (MSCPA) (Litchfield, Michigan) have determined that the most cost effective method to meet baseload growth requirement by 2012 is to build a new $1.2 billion grassroots power station with two 500-megawatt (MW) units.

The other project involves two American Electric Power Company (NYSE:AEP)(Columbus, Ohio) subsidiaries, Columbus Southern Power Company (Conesville, Ohio) and Ohio Power Company (Columbus, Ohio), which have partnered together to invest $900 million in a 600 MW Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) unit to be online by 2011. AEP has selected a team of GE Power Systems (Houston, Texas), a subsidiary of General Electric Company (NYSE:GE)(Fairfield, Connecticut), and Bechtel Group, Incorporated (San Francisco, California) to provide the coal gasification technology, engineering, procurement and construction.
