Generation Assets - Gorsuch


In 1988, AMP-Ohio purchased a 70 percent interest in the steam plant owned by Elkem Metals Company, located along the Ohio River near Marietta. The plant was originally constructed in the 1950s . The plant was renamed in memory of the late Richard Gorsuch, who served as AMP-Ohio president from 1983 until his death in 1987. In 1999, AMP-Ohio purchased the remaining interests in the plant.

Under AMP-Ohio, the plant has a nameplate capacity of 213 megawatts. Over the years, the organization has invested in control technologies, including a continuous emissions monitoring system to reduce plant emissions. Output from the plant helps meet a portion of the energy needs for 48 participating member municipal electric systems.
