The plant will feature large arrays of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on a single-axis tracking rack system, which will track the sun’s trajectory from east to west throughout the day. The remaining 322 acres will be used as a buffer for surrounding land uses.
The solar panels and associated equipment for the project will be installed on approximately 3,444 acres. The site is situated to the east of Yankeetown-Chenoweth Road and west of State Route 56 East. It will be built across 3,766 acres of leased agricultural land located 12.87km south-east of London and 8.04km north-west of Mt Sterling in the state of Ohio. The 577MW Fox Squirrel Solar facility will be located in the Oak Run, Pleasant and Range townships in Madison County. It is expected to contribute up to $213m to the local economy during construction as well as deliver annual tax revenues worth approximately $3.6m to Madison County when operational.
The solar farm is projected to generate more than 1,600 jobs during the construction phase and 38 permanent jobs when operational.
