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.
Plans for a floating solar field in the City of Lima are getting closer to reality. The city will be receiving millions of dollars in federal grants for the construction of floating solar panels at Twin Lakes Reservoir. On Monday night, Lima City Council unanimously voted to accept $2.5 million through two grants from the Department of Energy for the project: one for $500,000 and the other for $2 million. The floating solar panels will help the City of Lima to power the water treatment plant at Twin Lakes Reservoir while saving the taxpayer money.
