The Shawnee Steam Plant, on the bank of the Ohio River, now provides electricity to customers throughout the region, as does the Joppa Steam Plant. Honeywell-Metropolis Works provides a variety of chemicals products for customers around the world. The U.S. Department of Energy, as owner of the plant, handles site environmental management and cleanup.
