Pleasant Prairie Solar Energy Center

About the Project

The Pleasant Prairie Solar Energy Center is a proposed solar power generation facility of up to 250 megawatts (MW) in Franklin County, Ohio, targeted to begin operating in 2023. Solar technology uses the power of the sun to deliver clean, renewable energy and is now one of the lowest-cost energy sources available.

The Pleasant Prairie Solar Energy Center is an opportunity to boost the local economy of Franklin County and create jobs, all while generating clean, American made energy to meet Ohio's growing electricity demand.
