The William H. Zimmer Power Station is located near Moscow, Ohio, roughly thirty miles from Cincinnati, Ohio. The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company, the Dayton Power & Light Company, and the Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Company jointly own the plant. Originally the plant was to be a nuclear power plant, but after the nuclear power scare at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania and the increasing cost of building and operating a nuclear power plant, the three companies determined to switch the plant from a nuclear one to a coal-burning plant.
