Project Overview

CPV Walker Energy Center is a proposed 1,450 MW natural gas combined-cycle power generation facility located on approximately 150 acres in Fayette County, Ohio. The project, as proposed, would provide a source of dependable, dispatchable generation to the region. The project is being designed with the option to include carbon capture technology, once operational, CPV Walker will serve as a cornerstone asset of CPV’s broader decarbonization platform with the capacity to capture up to 95% of the facility’s carbon emissions.

To construct, operate, and maintain the facility, CPV Walker must obtain a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need (CECPN) from the Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB). CPV Walker anticipates submitting its certificate application to the OPSB in 2026. Throughout the OPSB process, there will be multiple opportunities for public participation. The first public information meeting for the project is scheduled for Thursday, April 30 from 5pm to 7pm at the Masonic Lodge in Jeffersonville (23 S Main St, Jeffersonville, OH 43128). The meeting will be conducted in an open-house format, and community members are welcome to attend at any time during the meeting hours to speak with members of the CPV Walker development team.

Members of the public may access all filing in the CPV Walker application and submit public comments through the OPSB’s website. Following application notice to the OPSB, CPV Walker will be assigned an application number. The OPSB’s address is 180 East Broad Street, Columbus Ohio, 43215-3793. The Board can be reached by telephone at (866) 270-6772, or by e-mail at ContactOPSB@puco.ohio.gov.
