Lima gets recognized for a future project that will be the largest one in the state. Wednesday evening, the city got the "Clean Energy Innovator Award" from "Power A Clean Future Ohio" for the floating solar field they are putting on the Twin Lake reservoir, next to the water treatment plant. The nearly five-and-a-half-million-dollar floating solar field will generate around two megawatts of power. The city pays around 200 thousand dollars a year to power the water treatment plant, and this will save the city money in years to come. The solar field will be made up of over 3,400 solar panels over four acres of the reservoir, which will be the largest floating solar field in the state.
