We take the employees suggestions, they are the ones who run the business,” he said. He said work continues with input from employees to drive down costs to keep the plant successful. Investments to the plant have made it one of the cleanest coal-fired power plants in the world.ĪEP had announced in late 2016 its plans to convert its unit, Unit 1, at Cardinal to natural gas fuel by 2030. Higgins said these are challenging times for coal but coal continues to be an affordable and viable fuel, with stable pricing compared with the volatility of natural gas.Ĭardinal, he said, burns $200 million worth of coal annually, about 4 million tons a year, and it is from mines within 100 miles of the plant.

The power plant serves 1 million electric consumers in 77 of Ohio’s 88 counties, officials said. Units 1 and 2 are 50 years old, with Unit 3 having been completed in 1977. George noted participation by employees in the annual United Way Day of Caring, donation of 216 pairs of shoes in 2017 to the United Sole effort and the continued backing of the Buckeye Local Back to School Bash, among other charitable contributions.Ĭardinal, Higgins said, is ingrained in the fabric of Brilliant and Wells Township as a job supplier and a community resource, and will continue to be so. The plant also contributes to community needs, with employees pledging $18,000 to the United Way of Jefferson County and the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley, said Patrick Higgins, spokesman for Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives. It paid $8 million in property taxes in 2017. He noted the workers at the plant are members of the Utility Workers Union and local unions are used for trades jobs in the plant, all of which contributes to the safety record.Ĭardinal remains a major economic force for the area, with $38 million in annual payroll. Personnel who have been part of Cardinal continue to be part of Cardinal, as part of a team that has worked 1.7 million manhours without a lost-time injury, George said. Employment at Cardinal has risen by 10, from 310 to 320 as a result. He said AEP and Buckeye Power made substantial investments to make Cardinal one of the cleanest coal plants in the United States, and the goal is to continue operations for the long term.Īssistant Plant Manager Bethany Schunn explained there were some corporate-level changes involving former AEP functions, including information technology, engineering staff and accounting.

“The job is to run the plant as efficiently and reliably and safely as we can,” said plant Manager Chuck George.
