Potential emissions and details on the project's status and permit applications can be viewed on Oil and Gas Watch page here.
The Oil and Gas Watch database, created by Environmental Integrity Project (EIP), is a free, public-facing tool designed to track the rapid expansion of fossil fuel and petrochemical infrastructure in the United States. Oil and Gas Watch maps new and expanding oil, gas, and petrochemical infrastructure projects across the country and monitors each project’s construction status so the public can stay informed about major oil and gas developments being proposed in their communities. We track key environmental approvals companies must obtain before starting construction or operations and provide access to thousands of government records and permits unearthed by our analysts.

Background
CPV Shay Clean Energy Center is an approximately 2,060 MW gas-fired combined-cycle power generation facility with carbon capture technology. CPV Shay will have a 54-acre footprint on part of a 230 acre site in Blandville, Doddridge County, West Virginia.[8] In April 2024, the siting certificate for the new plant was approved by the West Virginia Public Service Commission. Construction is to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.[9] According to CPV, it will take three years to build the plant. The construction is expected to begin in Q4 2026.[8] In January 2025, it was reported in the media that the construction would commence in Q4 2025.[10] The plant will deploy three GE HA.03 turbines, each with a high-efficiency secondary cycle steam turbine system.[8][9]
