FirstEnergy Event Touts Planned 1,200 MW Gas-Fired Plant in WV

Mon Power and Potomac Edison are local utilities and subsidiaries of FirstEnergy Corp. The two companies recently submitted an Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to the West Virginia Public Service Commission, outlining how they will continue to deliver reliable, cost-effective power to West Virginia homes and businesses over the next decade (see FirstEnergy Explores Adding 1,200 MW Gas-Fired Plant in WV). The big news coming from the IRP is that the companies are exploring the possibility of building a new 1,200-megawatt natural gas combined-cycle power plant, which is expected to be operational around 2031. Those plans got more real at an event hosted yesterday by FirstEnergy.
