County approves Alternate Energy Zone for Harrison Township solar field


Newark Advocate
Union Ridge Solar, a subsidiary of Leeward Renewable Energy, announced plans to construct the solar field near the AEP Kirk substation on Watkins Road, on farm property north of Refugee Road, west of York Road, south of Blacks Road and on both sides of Watkins Road.
“It’s our discretion whether to create an Alternate Energy Zone for the project,” County Commissioner Tim Bubb said. “We’ve met with Leeward and we’re familiar with this project. We don’t see any downside. There’s no reason not to move forward.
“We’re growing megawatts instead of corn out there. You don’t have to water it and it makes electricity.” ....

Solar field could provide $1 million annually to Northridge schools


Tom Cooperrider, a Hartford Township trustee, said area farmers have been approached about leasing their land.
“I signed up more than a year ago, Cooperrider said. They’re just looking for good ground to lease for a solar panel project. Farmers here signed up for that. I think it’d be a pretty good chunk of money for the school system.”
State Sen. Jay Hottinger, R-Newark, said he met recently with Kevin DeWine, a lobbyist who represents Open Road Renewables. Hottinger said the proposal was for a 350-megawatt solar field.
State law assesses $7,000 per megawatt for solar and wind fields. Based on 350 megawatts, the company would pay $2.45 million annually, in lieu of taxes, to local property tax recipients. The amount could be increased to up to $9,000 per megawatt, which would boost the annual payments to $3.15 million. ....

Our view: Solar farm Newark redevelopment good signs Licking County


The Advocate Editorial Board
Newark and Licking County have received tremendous news recently - news that could have lasting positive impacts for decades.
The proposed 108 megawatt solar field on 512 acres of Harrison Township farmland is likely to be a huge win for the area.
The privately-financed project from Union Ridge Solar would place a large solar farm near the AEP Kirk substation on Watkins Road. It must go through a fairly rigorous approval process with the state before it can become a reality. Construction may not be completed until the end of 2022 if things go as planned.
While the construction would likely cause some headaches in the area, once it is operational there will be little traffic to the site. ....
