Erie Nuclear Power Plant
Cancelled nuclear power plant in Ohio, USA
The Erie Nuclear Power Plant was a proposed nuclear power plant to be located 9 miles (14 km) southeast of Sandusky, Ohio.[1][2] It was proposed in 1976 by Ohio Edison (a forerunner of FirstEnergy) for the Central Area Power Coordination (CAPCO). The plant was to consist of two Babcock & Wilcox 1,267 megawatt reactors.[3] Unit 1 was scheduled to be complete in 1986, Unit 2 in 1988.[4] Preliminary work was canceled in 1980 due to new federal requirements placed on nuclear plants that make their construction more expensive and by a drop in anticipated customer energy demand.[4][5]
