Council passes resolution in support of AMP-Ohio Project

 

  Cleveland City Council has thoroughly considered this project through an open and transparent public process that solicited the participation of all concerned stakeholders, appropriately considered the sustainability interests of the City and Cleveland Public Power (CPP), the need for CPP to continue to offer competitive electric rates for the City’s residents and businesses, and the efforts and commitments of AMP-Ohio to mitigate the impact of the AMPGS project and fulfill its role in environmental stewardship on behalf of all its members including CPP.  Cleveland City Council Members are confident that Council has devoted the time and resources necessary to comprehensively examine the project before administering approval.
 
As part of Council’s due diligence, an independent consultant, ION Consulting, to provide an assessment of the data and reports relative to the AMPGS project.  This information was presented to Cleveland City Council at the February 22, 2008 Public Utilities Hearing and CCP, AMP-Ohio and the public was given an opportunity to comment.
 
Cleveland City Council has secured commitments from AMP-Ohio to ensure that the project will preserve and improve the health of the environment.  AMP-Ohio has committed to using Power Span technology in the operation of AMPGS and to the use of “supercritical” boilers, in order to achieve maximum efficiency and to support the City’s environmental initiatives. 
 
Additionally, Members of Cleveland City Council are confident that the end result of the project will move Cleveland toward a more sustainable future.  CPP’s participation will also lower CPP’s emissions footprint by replacing its current supply of power from the conventional Gorsuch Generating Plant and other regional coal plants with power from a cleaner source.
