Will-Power

Citizens question system in place to monitor and regulate emissions from power plant at data center

Residents in Middleton Township, Ohio are concerned about air pollution from a new 350-megawatt natural gas power plant being built by Will-Power to serve an adjacent Meta data center. Citizens expressed distrust in the regulatory system and pleaded with the EPA for better monitoring and consideration of cumulative emissions during a public hearing on the plant's draft air permit. The Ohio Power Siting Board had previously approved the power plant without public input, fast-tracking the project.
