Bricker involved in Cleveland-area solar farm development

As announced by Columbus Business First (subscription required), IGS Energy of Dublin, Ohio, will build a large solar farm on former landfill property near Cleveland. The solar farm will spread across 17 acres and will consist of over 35,000 panels – the largest in the state. Energy generated from the panels will be used by Cuyahoga County to “power about 5 percent of 16 county government buildings.” Bricker attorneys represented Cuyahoga County in the transaction, closing $10 million financing for the project. Likewise, the firm negotiated several related agreements, including a 30-year power purchase agreement. The project is expected to be complete in summer 2018.
