American Municipal Power (AMP) recently announced that the 20-megawatt (MW) Bowling Green Solar Facility, “the largest solar installation in the State of Ohio” (see our September 21, 2016 blog post), began commercial operation in January 2017. The facility is made up of “more than 85,000 modules” that rotate to follow the path of the sun to maximize production. According to AMP’s Executive Vice President of Power Supply and Operations, the project will help “diversify AMP’s member power supply portfolios” and “reduce transmission costs and meet peaking needs.” For more, read AMP’s full press release.
