Lightsource bp is developing the Birch solar project in Allen and Auglaize Counties, Ohio. Permitting of solar facilities over 50 megawatts in Ohio is a state led process which takes about a year to complete, administered by the Ohio State Siting Board (OPSB). It is among the most rigorous permitting processes in the United States and considers all aspects of a solar energy project. The OPSB process requires a suite of extensive studies in order to ensure that an energy project will be suitable and beneficial for both the state and the local community. Lightsource bp is strictly adhering to this process for its Birch Solar project, and submitted the permit application for Birch solar to the OPSB on Feb 12, 2021.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
