Second Utica-Fired Power Plant for Facebook Nears Approval in Ohio

In early April, MDN brought you the exciting news that pipeline giant Williams, via its subsidiary, Will-Power, is planning to build two Utica/Marcellus gas-fired power plants in the New Albany International Business Park in Licking County, Ohio (see Williams Subsidiary Unveils Plans for Gas-Fired Power Plant in Ohio). The two projects are called the Socrates North and Socrates South power plants and will power a data center complex at that location. In early June, the Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) authorized and approved construction for the Socrates South project (see OH Approves Williams Gas-Fired Plant to Power Facebook Data Center). Good news! The OPSB is now close to approving Socrates North.
