Project summary

Xenia Solar is a proposed up to 30-megawatt (MW) solar renewable energy project on approximately 190 acres of land in Xenia Township, Greene County, Ohio. The project offers clean, renewable energy along with a new source of economic development for the community, and new sources of revenue for local schools and government services.

Economic benefits:

The project will generate economic opportunities by:

• Creating both short-term (construction) and long-term (maintenance and operational) jobs in the local area

• Creating other job opportunities supported through the spending and purchases by these workers at local businesses, shops, restaurants, and hotels

Solar power is one of the most cost-effective sources of electricity today, and its ability to generate power during high-demand times reduces the cost of electricity for all consumers.

Environmental commitment:

• Xenia Solar will plant native grasses and forbs to increase soil stability and health, improve filtration, and aid in biodiversity and improvement of habitat

• Solar energy produced by Xenia Solar will reduce emissions and impacts from power generation in comparison to traditional power plants

Xenia Solar has a nameplate capacity of up to 30 megawatts (MWs). The solar-powered electricity generated will deliver clean, renewable electricity to the Ohio bulk power transmission system to serve the needs of electric utilities and their customers. Power generated by the project will be used both locally and transmitted to where it is needed based on demand.
