Project Overview

CPV Shay Energy Center is an approximately 2,100 MW natural gas combined-cycle power generation facility with the capability to utilize carbon capture technology that is currently under development in Doddridge County, West Virginia.

CPV Shay is unprecedented in scale at over 2.1 GW, one of the largest known carbon capture projects in the world, and will plan to utilize amine-based carbon capture technology to capture up to 95% of the carbon emissions from the project. Once operational, the project will produce nearly 15,000 GWh annually, with only 10% of the GHG emissions of the lowest emitting facilities operating today.

Once complete the project will serve as one of the cornerstone projects for CPV’s decarbonization platform.

Community Benefits

Will generate more than $169 million in local revenue over the life of the project to support Doddridge County.
CPV Shay will create approximately 2,000 jobs during the peak construction phase and an average of 1,200 jobs annually during the construction timeline.
During plant operations, CPV Shay will employ 50 to 60 highly skilled workers.
Local businesses will benefit from increased commerce from the project and workers.
Due to its location within the PJM Interconnection and status as one of the only new combined cycles in the interconnection queue, CPV Shay is in a unique position to respond to the region’s growing need for more baseload power as the grid deals with looming retirements of coal plants and increasing energy demands.

Environmental Benefits

Up to 95% of carbon emissions can be removed with carbon capture technology when compared to a similar-sized facility without carbon capture.
When operational, CPV Shay will deliver enough electricity to power 1.8 million homes.
Adds to West Virginia’s energy diversity with a clean, highly efficient, and dispatchable resource.
