The Chestnut Run Energy project team thanks community members who participated in two Public Information Meetings held in December 2025. These meetings were conducted as planned and provided an opportunity to share information about the proposed project, its development status and timeline, and its potential economic value to the community. Attendees also had the opportunity to ask questions, provide comments, and discuss project planning and community benefits.
Both meetings were held in the elementary school cafeteria at Carrollton Exempted Village Schools.
Chestnut Run Energy has submitted two applications for Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need to the Ohio Power Siting Board (Case No. 25-1065-EL-BGN for the generation facility and Case No. 25-1066-EL-BTX for the generation-tie line). If you would like to receive a hard or electronic copy of either application, please contact us using the phone number or the form via the “Contact Us” tab at the top of this page.
