6,300 Megawatts of Natural Gas Fired Electricity Proposed for Ohio

Dynegy Inc. has proposed to build 6,300 megawatts worth of electricity power generating plants in Ohio.  The plants would be fired by natural gas.  That natural gas would come, naturally, from the Utica and Marcellus shales.

Other details are scant, as the article is more about the competing bids by other power generating companies and the associated drama.

West Virginia could use a few more natural gas powered electric plants.  We have several in progress in the northern panhandle and Harrison County.
