Marcellus States > Ohio
Resources: A measure of total energy production and consumption per capita
Market: The cost of consumption, measured in electricity prices and gasoline taxes
Infrastructure: Capacity to generate and refine energy sources; miles of pipelines
Ohio's primary economic activity is manufacturing, and the industrial sector is the largest energy-consuming sector in the state.
Coal fuels about two-thirds of Ohio's electricity generation, and eight of the state's 10 largest power plants by capacity are coal-fired.
Because Ohio's net electricity generation does not meet state demand, Ohio imports electricity from outside of the state via the PJM Interconnection and the Midwest Independent Transmission System RTO.
