In June 2019 Long Ridge Energy Terminal in Monroe County, OH (transloading facility) began to build a 485-megawatt Utica gas-fired electric plant (see Work Begins on Gas-Fired Elec Plant in Monroe County, OH). The new Utica-fired plant is supposed to be up and running in “late 2021.” But what’s this? Even before it’s built, the owners have announced they are transitioning the plant away from Utica gas to burn hydrogen instead.
