(Fayette County) – The Ohio Power Siting Board will hold a local public hearing regarding Bluegrass Power Generation LLC’s proposal to construct an 800 megawatt natural gas-fired electric generation facility in Jefferson Township, Fayette County. The hearing is scheduled for November 17th at 6pm at the Jeffersonville Lions Club, located at 5576 1 Railroad Street in Jeffersonville, Ohio. 

Bluegrass Power Generation proposes to construct the generation facility on 100 acres of undeveloped land near Jeffersonville, Ohio. The facility will operate “behind-the-meter” to serve the electric load of a dedicated third-party facility or facilities located nearby and will not be physically connected to the electric power grid. 

The purpose of the local public hearing is to allow individuals to provide sworn testimony regarding the proposed facilities. The hearing transcript will become part of the case record considered by the OPSB. Witnesses will register when they arrive at the hearing and will testify in the order in which they register. Testimony will be limited to three minutes per witness. If a witness wishes to supplement their testimony with an exhibit, a copy of the document should be provided to the administrative law judge during the hearing.

The evidentiary hearing is scheduled for December 9, 2025, at 10am, at the offices of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, 180 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215. During the evidentiary hearing, the applicant, OPSB staff, and intervening parties will offer expert testimony and evidence regarding the proposed project.
