Guernsey Power Station is a gas-fired power plant located in Guernsey County, Ohio south of Byesville in the heart of the Utica and Marcellus shale region. It generates 1.875 GW of power, the 69th largest power station in the United States. The plant cost $1.7 billion to build.
The electric generating facility will sell energy and capacity into the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection (PJM) market. PJM is the regional transmission organization that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in 13 states, including Ohio.
The facility uses three of General Electric’s advanced gas turbines, each with a heat recovery steam generator and steam turbine generator and will produce electricity equivalent to the power needs of approximately 1.4 million homes within the PJM region.
