Solar projects such as Fox Squirrel are pivotal in helping Ohio attract more business and foster economic growth within the state.

EDF Renewables North America Onshore Development senior vice-president Kate O’Hair said: “This project is a shining example of the power of partnerships between landowners, the local community and our project partners all working together towards a sustainable future.

“Our development partner, Geenex Solar, has been instrumental in making this project a reality. Fox Squirrel has brought hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars to Madison County throughout the development and construction phase. As we transition into the operational phase, we are committed to continuing to be a responsible and reliable neighbour and strengthening our environmental and community stewardship.”

At the height of its construction, the project employed around 650 workers, who installed approximately 10,000 panels per day, adding up to nearly 1.5 million work hours.

Enbridge Power Business Development vice-president Tom Carbone said: “This project represents an important milestone in advancing Enbridge’s renewable energy strategy, reinforcing our leadership in the ongoing energy evolution. We are proud to provide 100% of the power to Amazon to help provide clean, renewable energy for their operations and support their sustainability goals.”
