All rights reserved Summersville Hydroelectric Project SUMMERSVILLE HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT INTRODUCTION By Jim Price President of Noah Corporation July 2004 We set up Noah Corp. in 1980 to benefit from the law that passed in 1978, which required utilities to buy power from small power producers, which included hydroelectric projects less than 80 MW. After searching for existing dams that could be developed, we began to focus on existing federal dams in the eastern U.S., particularly in the Appalachian Mountains, where there were a number of flood control dams which did not have power generation facilities in place. We looked at federal projects in Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, etc. In considering the power generating features of these dams, Summersville Dam stood heads above the crowd. It was being examined by the Army Corps of Engineers for a federal project and was receiving some consideration by private companies for development of hydropower. I first visited the site in July 1980. I was captured by the power potential as evidenced by the water rushing out of its penstocks (tubes) below the dam. It was so impressive. We did not know at that time how difficult, expensive and time-consuming the development would be – with so many setbacks.
