FirstEnergy Corp. subsidiary, Mon Power, completed a new substation and power lines that will be used to provide electricity to a new Marcellus shale gas facility that’s being constructed in Doddridge County, West Virginia.

According to PennEnergy, the $5 million project was finished at the beginning of August and is expected to power a new fracking water treatment plant being constructed near Greenwood.

The treatment plant will remove salt brine and other materials from watershed produced by the hydraulic fracturing process, so it can be reused at gas wellheads. It is expected to use more than 16 megawatts of electricity — the amount used to power 16,000 homes.
