Chesapeake Utilities Corporation announced on July 8, 2025, that its Ohio subsidiary, Aspire Energy Express, LLC, has entered into an agreement with American Electric Power (AEP). This agreement involves the construction and operation of an intrastate natural gas pipeline in central Ohio.
The new transmission infrastructure represents a capital investment of approximately $10 million. Its purpose is to serve a new fuel-cell facility, which will provide on-site electric power to a data center, addressing the rising demand for distributed data infrastructure.
This project is expected to deliver reliable natural gas to power the data center's on-site electricity generation in the first half of 2027. The initiative exemplifies Chesapeake Utilities' growth strategy by leveraging its core capabilities in new business development, transmission project construction, and customer-focused energy solutions in high-growth regions.
