PLYMOUTH — The Marshall County Commissioners will continue negotiations with Chesco Energy LLC, headquartered in West
Chester, PA, about placing a power plant in Marshall County.
The plant would be approximately 67 acres, located between LaPaz and Bremen on US 6, and would be a natural gas-fired facility and produce electricity with a turbine. It would be what is called a “peaker” facility, only being active when there is an energy shortage on the grid during peak usage.
CEO of the company, Reed Wills, told the board that he estimated that the plant would operate an average of 1000 to 2000 hours a year. He also told the Commissioners that the expense of the plant would be that of the company.
Wills was questioned by Commissioner Adam Faulstich over the ownership of the facility.
At the conclusion of the Chesco presentation, Commissioner Jesse Bohannon was positive about continuing negotiations with the Company.
