Ohio is the desired location for several shale-fueled power plants
Saturday, October 17, 2015
In the Marcellus and Utica Shale region, several electrical power plant projects are in the works. The Business Journal reports that the area’s natural gas supply, available workforce and the need to replace older power plants are what make Ohio a prime location for these projects.
Recently, it was announced that a $1.1 billion power plant will be built in Wellsville. One electrical power plant is planned in Carroll County and another is slated for construction in Trumbull County.

Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
