Buildings 1-3 are visibly operational, with steam coming out of the cooling towers.

2026-05-01

Building 4 operational. No more visible construction, and since only 3 fans needed to be installed since Feburary, operational date was likely soon after. Building 5 roof almost complete.

364 MW

Building 5 operational. The [transmission line construction notice](https://www.aeptransmission.com/ohio/docs/Hartman%20Farms%20Extension%20No.%202%20138%20kV%20Transmission%20Line%20Project%20Construction%20Notice.pdf) that expands site by 100 MW is assumed to be entirely for Building 5, and has an in-service date of July 1, 2027 (page 3). Estimate taken on the safe side based on completion times for Building 3-4 from when roof was complete.
