A public hearing Wednesday allowed people to voice their opinions on a proposed ban on utility-scale wind and solar projects in parts of Clark County.

A report from a solar energy provider released earlier this year states that a solar project at the Miami County Incinerator superfund site could lead to energy savings.

Residents were invited to bring their questions to project team staff of the proposed Sloopy Solar project in Harmony Township, Clark County. It would be the first utility-scale solar project in the county.

To be called “Sloopy Solar,” Clark County's first utility-scale solar project is slated for development in Harmony Township. It’ll span 1,600 acres.

The developers of Grange, Open Road Renewables, says it would have created over 1,000 jobs and $100 million of investment. But that didn't stop local residents and officials from opposing the project.

The city's sewage is processed by anaerobic microorganisms that create biogas. That’s then turned into natural gas. The city projects it will earn $800,000 selling it to DTE Biomass Energy.

Madison County Commissioners voted two to one to pursue legal counsel to appeal the Oak Run solar project to the Ohio Supreme Court.

The new 131-panel array will generate 100,000 kilowatt hours annually for Five Rivers MetroParks at its 2nd Street Market.

The Ohio Power Siting Board approved Oak Run in Madison County after elected officials, advocacy groups and residents weighed in on the utility-scale solar power farm.

Gem City Solar, a project to power the equivalent of 13,000 homes, was recently approved for a tax exemption, instead making payments that will primarily benefit Trotwood-Madison schools.

Dayton is now one of four cities in the world to receive a platinum rating by the U.S. Green Buildings Council.

Solar United Neighbors' Miami Valley Solar Co-op makes commercial and rooftop solar more affordable because members buy panels and pay for installation in bulk, the non-profit says.
