OPSB approves construction of 200 MW natural gas-fired power plant in Ohio
June 9 (Reuters) - The Socrates South Power Generation Project, a 200 megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired electric generation facility in the city of New Albany and Licking County, Ohio, has been approved for construction, the Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) said Monday.
The behind-the-meter project will serve the electric load of an adjacent data center, and not be physically connected to the electric grid, the board said.
The facility will be constructed and operated by Will-Power OH, LLC, a subsidiary of the Williams Companies WMB.N, while Sidecat, LLC, an affiliate of Meta Platforms Inc. META.O will consume the electric power generated.
"Natural gas supply for the generation facility will come from two 24-inch diameter gas pipelines that will be the subject of future applications with the OPSB," the board added.
