West Virginia air quality regulators have begun a period for public comment on a permit proposal for an organic material-fueled industrial facility in Mason County linked to plans for nearby data center operations.

MGS CNP 1 LLC, an affiliate of Houston-based Fidelis New Energy LLC, has filed an air quality permit application for construction of a biomass-fired boiler near Point Pleasant to generate electricity not for sale, near fellow Fidelis affiliate MGS H2 1 LLC’s proposed hydrogen production facility. The address for the facility planned near the Ohio River is listed as 5801 Ohio River Road, Point Pleasant, in a draft permit issued by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection.
