Local Benefits for Highland County.
Powering Ohio with Clean Energy.

Project Overview — Learn More About the Project

37,000
Ohio Homes

The project will generate enough homegrown energy right here in Highland County to power the equivalent of more than 37,000 homes each year. The battery storage, when paired with solar generation, will provide a firm and reliable source of electricity for the electric grid at times of day when it is needed most.

300+
Local Jobs

The project will create more than 300 local jobs during construction, in addition to long-term operations and maintenance jobs.

Millions
in New Revenue

Over the first 20 years of operation, the project will generate more than $20 million in long-term revenue that will benefit local schools, police, fire, and other critical services the community relies on. The project will also contribute millions to the local Clay-Lynchburg and Bright Local School Districts.

Creating Jobs

The project will create more than 300 local jobs during construction, in addition to long-term operations and maintenance jobs. The project will create around 33 full time jobs in the local community as a result of the site being built.

Preserving Farmland

Solar projects provide landowners and farmers with revenue, which can give them a greater opportunity to keep their land in their family. After the 40-year life of the project, the land will be returned to its original condition.

Promoting Energy Independence and Energy Security

Ohio currently imports up to 25% of the electricity it consumes from outside the state because in-state generation does not meet consumer demand. Nuthatch Solar and Storage will help secure the energy grid, contribute to energy independence, and keep more energy money in Ohio.
