COLUMBUS — The Ohio Power Siting Board recently authorized Northwest Ohio Wind Energy, LLC to construct a wind farm comprised of up to 59 wind turbines in Blue Creek and Latty townships in Paulding County.
The Northwest Ohio Wind Farm will have an electric generation capacity of 100 megawatts, utilizing turbines with a nameplate capacity of 1.7 to 2.0 MW.
Area
The project covers 12,750 acres of leased land near the villages of Haviland and Grover Hill, north of the existing Blue Creek Wind Farm.
An agreement between the formal parties to the case, Northwest Ohio Wind Energy, the OPSB staff, and the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, was signed Oct. 28.
