COLUMBUS – At a time when many coal-fired plants are closing, Ohioans are paying for two coal plants on their electric bills, and one isn t even located in the state.
The reasons why Ohioans are subsidizing the Piketon-based Ohio Valley Electric Corp. (OVEC) plants are complicated and, of course, political. The plants were built to power America s push for nuclear weapons during the Cold War. But that role was short-lived, and opponents say the plants have outlived their usefulness.
The OVEC plants became a bargaining chip in the heated House Bill 6 fight to bail out two nuclear plants in northern Ohio then owned by FirstEnergy Solutions. With much of the attention on the $1 billion nuclear bailout, lawmakers extended monthly fees on Ohioans electric bills for the two coal plants through 2030.
