Columbus Solar Park

Columbus Solar Park LLC (Columbus Solar) is proposing a 49.5 MWac solar farm located in Jackson Township, Franklin County, Ohio. Columbus Solar has a long-term lease on a 250-acre closed municipal landfill in metropolitan Columbus, Ohio. The Project will produce solar-powered electricity that will maximize energy production from available solar resources to deliver clean, renewable electricity to the Ohio bulk power transmission system, serving the needs of electric utilities and their customers.

Columbus Solar will provide a stable, long-term economic benefit to the Columbus, Ohio and JacksonTownship area. The localities will benefit from increased tax revenues paid throughout the project life. Host communities typically experience increased economic activity for local businesses and opportunities for new jobs – with the largest direct impact on employment during the Project’s construction phase.

Columbus Solar will consist of photovoltaic (PV) panels, single axis fixed-tilt racking, a collection substation, and infrastructure to connect the Project to the Jackson Pike AEP Substation along Jackson Pike.

Columbus Solar is expected to operate with an average annual capacity factor of about 22 percent generating a total of approximately 76,673,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity each year. The electricity generated by the Project will be transferred to the transmission grid operated by PJM Interconnection, LLC for sale at market pricing or under a power purchase agreement.
