Two side-by-side power plants, fueled by natural gas and waste coal, gained approval Monday night in Robinson, Washington County.
Supervisors hinged approval of the Beech Hollow Energy Project on 55 conditions, including the developer paying thousands of dollars in annual fees to the township, following guidelines for fly ash placement and monitoring well water and air quality.
Developers Robinson Power Co. and Champion Processing Inc. have 10 business days to agree to the provisions or township officials will reverse their vote.
The $538 million dual-plant project is expected to generate a total of 300 gross megawatts of electricity on 37 acres bounded by routes 22 and 980 and Candor and Beech Hollow roads, near the Allegheny County border.
