Floodwood Plant Powers Southern Ohio and Beyond
The Floodwood Central Power Station in Hocking Valley began in 1914 with 5 000 horsepower, expanded to 10 000 in 1918 19, and in 1922 23 added a 16 700 horsepower Westinghouse turbo generator for a total of 26 700 horsepower. The Southern Ohio Electric Company serves thousands in southern Ohio and western West Virginia, and the plant acts as a community builder, employing locals and supporting civic and business groups while expanding to new territory. It is owned by Ohio citizens and led by long time executives, with a policy of reinvestment in wages and coal purchases.
