Repsol Renewables is developing a utility-scale solar project in Gorham Township, Fulton County, Ohio and expects to install up to 199 megawatts (MW) of solar energy in the area, which has the potential to power more than 45,000 homes in Ohio annually. The solar project will be connected to the East Fayette Substation via a 2.2-mile-long, 138 kilovolt transmission line that will be sited wholly within the project boundary.
The Ritter Station Solar Project (Ritter Station Solar) is working towards filing an application with the Ohio Power Siting Board in early 2025, with a target commercial operation date of Q4 2027.
Repsol Renewables has identified the area within Gorham Township as suitable for solar development because of its proximity to the existing transmission system with available capacity, a compatible solar resource, site suitability with existing land use, and minimal anticipated environmental impacts.
