24″ High Pressure Pipeline

131,000 Linear Feet (23 Miles), 188 Landowners

The Oregon Clean Energy Center (OCE) is one of Ohio’s newest and most efficient state-of-the-art combined cycle natural gas-fired generation facilities  built since the early 2000s. The facility has 870 MW of demonstrated capacity with total capacity in excess of 900 MW. The facility reliably produces low-cost electricity for more than 700,000 homes and businesses in northwest Ohio.

Due to the plant’s strategic PJM injection location, OCE contracted with NCGT to develop and extend new high pressure natural gas infrastructure 23 miles from Maumee, Ohio to the plant near the Port of Toledo.  In total, both the power plant and the pipeline project resulted in nearly $1B in new energy investments.

NCGT worked directly with CME Energy, the City of Oregon, JobsOhio, and the Regional Growth Partnership to develop the new infrastructure and substantial increase access to high pressure natural gas in the region.  Shortly after construction commenced, NCGT transferred the asset into a new company called Generation Pipeline.

In 2019, NCGT and its partners sold Generation Pipeline to Nexus Gas Transmission, LLC a 50/50 partnership between DTE Energy Company and Enbridge Inc.
