The project is expected to begin construction in 2015 and become fully operational in 2018. The estimated $500 million cost to build the power plant would represent the largest business investment in Butler County in recent years. During the construction phase, the Middletown Energy Center is expected to create approximately 300-400 construction jobs. Upon completion, the project is estimated to add approximately 25-30 full-time jobs to the Middletown area, most of which are expected to come from the local workforce.
Combined-cycle power plants such as the Middletown Energy Center use significantly less water, produce fewer emissions and provide more power with minimal environmental impacts compared with more traditional forms of generation.
