The Allen Auglaize Citizens for Reasonable Energy (ACRE) group says the Lightsource BP's potential Birch Solar Farm project would bring a handful of benefits to both counties. The Birch Solar Farm Project would occupy 1,410 acres in Allen and Auglaize County. The project is anticipated to deliver nearly 600,000-megawatt hours of renewable energy annually into the local AEP grid. Opposition has been formed by a group called Against Birch Solar, citing that the proposed project would bring problems such as environmental, space, and noise.
Lightsource BP has announced that they have signed a new power contract with Amazon. The power purchase agreement with Amazon will be for the new 375 megawatt (MWdc) Birch solar project under development in Ohio.
