The power plant William H. Zimmer ( English William H. Zimmer Power Station ) is a coal power plant in the town of Moscow in the US state of Ohio , southeast of Cincinnati . It consists of a single block with a net output of 1,300 MW; the steam generator comes from Babcock & Wilcox .
history
The facility was originally planned by the Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company as a nuclear power plant . Construction work on the new nuclear power plant began on October 1, 1972. It should get a boiling water reactor with a gross output of 840 MW and a net output of 810 MW. In 1982 construction stopped and at the turn of the year 1983/84 the plans were dropped completely. As a result, the system was unused for three years.
In 1987, the owner Duke Energy made another investment of 1 billion US dollars and converted the power plant into a coal-fired power plant. It went into operation in 1991.
In 2014 Dynegy took over the stake in Duke Energy.
