Bluegrass Power Plans $3B Gas-Fired Plant in Fayette County, OH
Bluegrass Power Generation has proposed an 800-megawatt, $2.5 to $3 billion natural gas-fired electric generation facility in Fayette County, Ohio, pending approval from the Ohio Power Siting Board. The plant is designed to operate "behind-the-meter," exclusively supplying power to dedicated nearby third-party facilities, like the L-H Battery Company (Honda/LG Energy Solution), for at least 30 years, disconnected from the main power grid. The project is expected to create 500 construction jobs and 30 permanent operational positions, generating significant tax revenue and strengthening Ohio's high-tech infrastructure to support future industrial growth. Construction is currently slated to begin in February 2026.To view this content, log into your member account. (Not a member? Join Today!)
