The Henry County Solar Project will Provide Long-Term Benefits to Henry and Fulton Counties

Providing tens of millions of dollars in tax revenues over the life of the Project, which can be used for road upgrades, schools, public safety, and other critically important infrastructure services to both Fulton and Henry Counties, Clinton, Freedom, Liberty, and York Townships, the Liberty Center Local School District, Wauseon School District, and other local community partners and organizations.

Creating up to 200 family-wage construction jobs directly during construction with even more during peak construction times, 80% of which will be sourced from the State of Ohio.

Paying tens of millions of dollars to local landowners over the life of the Project through annual lease payments, easement agreements, and good neighbor agreements, resulting in a consistent stream of revenue that can protect against fluctuating commodity prices and help maintain family farms.

Stimulating local economic impact by sourcing Ohio-based equipment, materials, and labor when feasible in all phases – development, construction, and operations.

Implementing best-in-class pollinator-friendly vegetation, which will enhance soil health, ecological diversity, and hydrological cycles while providing critical pollinating services for nearby farms.

Being an active participant in the local community by developing meaningful relationships that translate into long-term partnerships with local organizations, schools, and community members.

Why Clinton, Freedom, Liberty, and York Townships?

Repsol Renewables has identified the area within Clinton, Freedom, Liberty, and York Townships as suitable for solar development because of its proximity to the existing transmission system with available capacity, a compatible solar resource, site suitability with existing land use, and minimal anticipated environmental impacts.

Henry County Solar Project Area

Repsol Renewables expects to use approximately 1500 acres to host project infrastructure, and the project will be wholly located within the boundaries of both Henry and Fulton Counties.

Work with state and federal agencies and stakeholders to ensure that potential environmental impacts are fully considered, minimized, and mitigated

Sound

Conduct a noise impact assessment to develop mitigation recommendations to ensure that the project meets applicable sound limits

Visual

Conduct a visual impact analysis to assure that potential visual impacts from the project are minimized through a variety of screening practices
