AMP shifts focus on Ohio plant

MARTINSVILLE, VA — “American Municipal Power (AMP), from which Martinsville buys wholesale electricity, still may build a power plant at an Ohio location where a similar project recently was discontinued.

Meanwhile, AMP member cities, including Martinsville, continue to try and find out how much money they owe toward the halted project…

A memo that the Painesville City Council in Ohio received on April 12 from Painesville City Manager Rita McMahon regarding the April 7 meeting states that ‘the final determination of costs will be complicated by complex legal issues.’

McMahon did not return calls for comment on the memo, a copy of which was provided to the Martinsville Bulletin by Turner. He said he received his copy by e-mail from Sandy Buchanan, executive director of Ohio Citizen Action, a nonprofit, grassroots consumer advocacy organization.”
