Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Reported lifecycle history

1. 2026-09-01Proposed

   Crane presented a 300 MW, three-building proposal on ~300 acres (three parcels) adjacent to the closed Beckjord power plant to the Pierce Township Zoning Commission. It still requires zoning commission and trustee approval.

   Underlying source

Source notes

Coordinates are those of the adjacent former Beckjord station (approximate). The site is wooded hillside north of Beckjord Road and east of US 52, and the company says it will avoid the plant's coal-ash pits. Township trustees say they are not entertaining the project and extended the moratorium.
