Bruce Mansfield Power Plant

The Bruce Mansfield Power Plant (BMPP) is a large industrial property under single ownership along the Ohio River in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. It is approximately 35 miles northwest of Pittsburgh and 17 miles from the Pittsburgh International Airport. Once a 2,490 MW coal-fired power plant, the site was closed by its former owner, FirstEnergy Corporation, in 2019. The Bruce Mansfield Power Plant property is comprised of 12 parcels totaling approximately 477 acres.

The site has several assets that are likely to be attractive to developers. The CSX railroad track that runs through the property along the riverbank has a connection to the CSX mainline via an 8-mile-long rail spur and features spurs owned by the BMPP site that can be used for shipping and receiving goods. The property has barge docking and conveyor/overhead pipe unloading infrastructure in place along the river. There is an electrical switchyard located within the site boundaries that could support redevelopment that includes a new form of generation or can be used by a large electricity consumer that chooses to locate on the site. Redevelopment opportunities for the site could include energy production, manufacturing, or large industrial uses.
