OHIO, USA — The Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) has approved a major solar energy project in Fulton County.

The Ritter Station Solar Project will feature a 199-megawatt solar-powered electric generation facility along with a 2.2-mile transmission line in Gorham Township.

The project will span approximately 1,287 acres within a larger 1,734-acre site and include photovoltaic arrays mounted on single-axis trackers, access roads, weather stations, inverters, transformers, underground electric collection lines and a collector substation.

Proponents of the project previously told WTOL 11 the projected $1.7 million build would bring in tax revenue to the community, while those opposed stated it would be an eyesore, harm local businesses and impact the groundwater for surrounding farmland.
