WILLOWBROOK Solar I, LLC
Willowbrook Solar I, LLC submitted an application for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need to the Ohio Power Siting Board in September of 2018. At a capacity of 150 Megawatts, the Project will be constructed and operate within an approximately 2,200-acre area of privately owned land approximately 2 miles east of Mowrystown, Ohio.
The Project Area is ideal for a utility-scale solar farm because it is adjacent to a point in the regional transmission system at which power can be supplied without the need for substantial and costly upgrades to that system. Use of the Project Area will enable the generation of large amounts of solar power because it is generally level and open.
The Project will consist of solar photo-voltaic panels and will not use any fuel, any appreciable amount of water, and it will not generate any air pollution, water pollution, or hazardous waste. The equipment comprising the Project will have very few moving parts and will make almost no sound.
