Ohio’s industries are growing in leaps and bounds, and I was honored to join @AEPnews and @ENERGY recently to celebrate the historic investment being made in Piketon. This site will be home to a $33 billion, 10 Gw natural gas generation facility, including 9.2 Gw of natural gas generation. The over $500 billion being invested in Piketon is the first to come out of the investment made by Japan as part of a trade deal last year, negotiated by President Trump. Being the largest industrial project EVER in Ohio, this site will help alleviate the cost of energy in our community while creating thousands of local jobs. $4.2 billion will be invested in grid upgrades and new transmission lines so local residents’ power bills will stay low, even as growing industries in the region begin to require more power. Thank you to President Trump for this huge investment that will keep not only our nation, but southern Ohio, a leader in energy!
