Over the many years of operation, new systems were implemented, environmentally conscious efforts were taken, and winter storms flourished. In 1978, the worst snowstorm in Ohio’s history struck and Conesville Power kept running.

The Conesville Plant power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses for 62 years. Many who worked and lived near the plant had the opportunity to tour it over the years. It was officially retired on May 31st, 2020.
