The Trumbull Energy Center (TEC), a $1.2 billion natural gas-fired combined-cycle power facility located in Lordstown, Trumbull County, Ohio, celebrated its completion with project partners and regional leaders. The plant is designed to provide clean, reliable power and meet the increasing electricity demand driven by advanced technologies, artificial intelligence, and data centers across Ohio and the Midwest, with the capacity to power approximately 900,000 homes.
The facility is owned by Korea Southern Power Co. Ltd. (KOSPO), Korea Overseas Infrastructure and Urban Development Corp. (KIND), and Siemens Energy, with construction led by Gemma Power Systems LLC. Logan Choi, president and CEO of Trumbull Energy Center, highlighted the project's role in meeting the growing demand for efficient power due to the rapid expansion of AI and data centers. He also emphasized the partnership between the United States and Korea, representing a significant Korean public energy company investment in U.S. energy infrastructure.
The ceremony included official recognitions from U.S. Representatives Dave Joyce and Mike Rulli, U.S. Senators Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted, and Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jim Tressel. The city of Warren was also honored for its support. The project, which entered commercial operation in January 2026, generated over $416 million in direct spending in Trumbull and Mahoning counties during construction and is expected to contribute an estimated $1.8 billion in economic activity over its 40 years of operation, including significant payments to local schools and governments.
