August 31, 2023
A West Virginia coal-fired power plant that had been targeted for deactivation was restarted Wednesday under a new owner that plans to retrofit the facility to use hydrogen to generate electricity, Gov. Jim Justice announced.
California-based Omnis Fuel Technologies intends to invest $800 million at the Pleasants Power Station on the Ohio River near Belmont in Pleasants County, Justice said.
