The Trumbull Energy Center is jointly owned by Korea Overseas Infrastructure and Urban Development Corp., Korea Southern Power Co. Ltd., and Siemens Energy, with construction spearheaded by Gemma Power Systems LLC. Logan Choi, President and CEO of Trumbull Energy Center, emphasized the project's significance for the communities and industries it serves, as well as its role in strengthening economic and energy partnerships between the U.S. and Korea.
The completion ceremony included official recognitions from the offices of U.S. Reps. Dave Joyce and Mike Rulli, U.S. Sens. Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted, and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel. City of Warren Mayor Doug Franklin and Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber President and CEO Guy Coviello praised the project's substantial economic contributions, including over $416 million in direct spending in Trumbull and Mahoning counties and the creation of hundreds of jobs during its three-year construction phase. The facility is also expected to contribute approximately $5.7 million to the Village of Lordstown during its operation.
