Join us on Wednesday, September 16 as we head to scenic eastern Ohio to see the Buckeye Power Cardinal Power Plant in action. Located along the Ohio River, the coal-fired power plant supplies power to all the electric co-ops in the state of Ohio, including NWEC.

NWEC members, along with co-op members from Paulding Putnam Electric and Tricounty Rural Electric, will be sharing a charter bus for the one-day trip. The tour is FREE, but seats are limited.

The air-conditioned bus with restroom facilities will leave the Northtowne Mall parking lot in Defiance at 7:30 a.m. and will return around 8:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided prior to arriving at the plant. You are responsible for your evening meal (at a fast food restaurant). Bottled water will be available on the bus.

Tour guidelines:

• The NWEC member must be one of the participants.

• Seats will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

• The trip is only offered to NWEC members who have not previously participated.

• Participants must be at least 12 years old.

• There will be a lot of walking, climbing of several sets of stairs, and going through hot and dusty areas during the tour, so members with health concerns or those who require assistance with walking should not take the tour.

• Members will be required to wear eye, head, and ear protection during the tour. Those items will be provided to you.
