Appalachian Power to get $5 million for Claytor hydroelectric upgrades
September 9, 2024
Appalachian Power will receive $5 million in federal funding to upgrade its Claytor hydroelectric plant on the New River in Pulaski County.
Virginia’s second-largest electric utility will use the money to help pay for replacing original equipment on two of the 75-megawatt plant’s four turbine-generator units. Improvements on one unit were finished last year, and work on the other is expected to be complete this year, said Appalachian Power spokesperson George Porter.
