About The Project

Current Efforts

Currently, we are working to finalize our construction efforts on site, including the finalization of racking and module installation, followed by final testing and energization of site. Hardin Solar II is projected to be Operational in 2024.

Economic Benefits

During the life of the project, Hardin Solar II is projected to pay millions of dollars in property taxes, lease payments to landowners, salaries to employees, and payments for local goods and services, resulting in a significant increase in economic activity in the Hardin County area. Local schools and county infrastructure will benefit from the increase in tax revenue.

Why Ohio?

Why Ohio?

Ohio is one of the top states for total energy consumption due to the large population, industrialized economy, and seasonal temperature variations. With increasing renewable energy portfolio goals for the state and a limited amount of existing renewable energy resources currently available, there are many opportunities for development throughout the state.

Why Hardin County?

Invenergy develops projects where there is a strong resource, interested customers, and most importantly, landowners who want to participate in the project.

We are committed to our host communities and look forward to continuing to work closely with Hardin County, contributing to the region's economic development, and providing clean, homegrown energy to Ohio.

Environmental Benefits

To avoid and minimize impacts to wildlife and other natural resources, we work with state and federal agencies along with other interested stakeholders to site, build, and operate our facilities responsibly. The cornerstone of that effort is our commitment to act in accordance with the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Land-based Wind Energy Guidelines, which include robust pre-construction wildlife and habitat surveys, early and often communication with wildlife agencies, and operational monitoring to ensure risk to wildlife is minimized.

Impact on County Roads

Invenergy will work with Hardin County to establish a road use agreement for the Hardin II Solar Energy Center, ensuring all county roads and infrastructure will be well-maintained during construction.
