The Claytor Project, built in 1939, is located in southwestern Virginia on the New River in Pulaski County. The Project is operated to generate electricity, which is merged with power being generated at Appalachian Power's other hydro, gas and coal-fired power plants in Virginia and West Virginia. The power generated by Appalachian Power helps meet the electricity needs of millions of people in seven states from Virginia to Michigan.
