A local utility said the large renewable energy project is needed to help meet capacity requirements as utilities retire a 1.39 GW coal power fleet.
The Public Service Commission approved a long-term power purchase agreement in partnership with Invenergy.
The project ties another for the largest in capacity in the state and it is set to include a 165MW battery energy storage installation.
Reactivate will also look to bring small-scale utility solar projects, energy storage, building electrification, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure to underserved communities, creating jobs for disadvantaged and transitioning energy workers along the way.
Under the agreements, the utility would own and operate one facility, and buy power from the other two.
Three utility-scale projects won approval, contributing a surge of capacity to what has been a busy year for solar in Ohio.
Also on the rise: LG will supply RWE with 200 MW of storage, SB Energy signs a PPA for a Texas solar project, and Invenergy lines up financing for a 200 MW Michigan solar project.
The developer has three separate long-term power purchase agreements with utilities for the output.
Also on the rise: Invenergy will develop 127 MW of solar for Guzman Energy, Silfab doubles its U.S. manufacturing capacity, and our inertia is making us vulnerable to disaster.
The 127 MW Boutique Solar project is in development in the state’s far southwestern corner.
