Mayor Andrew J. Ginther announced Thursday that the city has agreed to a power-purchase agreement funding two South Side solar farms on city land.
Mayor Andrew J. Ginther announced Thursday that his administration had signed an agreement for a private firm to construct two solar farms on two city-owned pieces of land on the South Side that would provide power to the city's Division of Power, the historic municipally owned utility that provides electricity for streetlights and about 17,000 mostly residential customers.
None of the power will go to the customers of the city's municipal electric aggregation program, Clean Energy Columbus, which is provided power by an affiliate of Columbus-based energy giant AEP. The city's municipally owned utility had its origin in the 1890's to generate electricity from burning coal to power city streetlights, but that former coal-fired generation plant near Lower.com Field near Downtown was shut down decades ago in response to environmental concerns.
Asked when that ground-breaking would occur, he responded:"As soon as the city gives us the last permit — hopefully imminently." Despite the historic nature of the contract, Ginther made no public announcements for the 17 months after its signing.
