Nottingham Solar

Nottingham Solar LLC (Nottingham Solar) is proposing a 100 MWac solar farm located in Athens Township, Harrison County, Ohio. Nottingham Solar has a long-term lease on a reclaimed coal surface mine. The Project will produce solar-powered electricity that will maximize energy production from available solar resources to deliver clean, renewable electricity to the Ohio bulk power transmission system, serving the needs of electric utilities and their customers.

Nottingham Solar will provide a stable, long-term economic benefit to the Cadiz, Ohio and Athens Township area. The localities will benefit from increased tax revenues paid throughout the project life. Host communities typically experience increased economic activity for local businesses and opportunities for new jobs – with the largest direct impact on employment during the Project’s construction phase.

Nottingham Solar will consist of photovoltaic (PV) panels, single axis tracker racking, a collection substation, and infrastructure to connect the Project to the AEP Nottingham Substation along Stumptown Road.

Nottingham Solar is expected to operate with an average annual capacity factor of about 22 percent generating a total of approximately 194,000,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity each year. The electricity generated by the Project will be transferred to the transmission grid operated by PJM Interconnection, LLC for sale at market pricing or under a power purchase agreement.
