31 August 2007 -- Duke Energy Ohio proposed a plan to meet future energy needs that includes the possibility of an additional power plant. The company said it relies on the regional wholesale power market for more than 20 percent of its electric supply but as demand grows, the tightening market will create volatility and higher prices.

President Sandra Meyer said in a release, "While energy efficiency and renewables can provide some of the answer, additional sources of generation will be needed as customer demand grows and older, less efficient generating units are retired."

Duke said it has issued a request for proposals to third-party suppliers for up to 1,800 MW of peaking and intermediate power, including from renewable sources, between 2009 and 2018. The company also said it will support the construction of clean-coal generating plants in Ohio and will include a facility in its supply plan, if the Ohio General Assembly approves it.
