(Columbus) – The Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) will hold a local public hearing regarding Palomino Solar, LLC’s proposal to construct a 200 megawatt solar‑powered electric generation facility in Union and Dodson townships in Highland County.

The hearing is scheduled for:
June 29, 2022, at 5pm 
Wharton Building, Highland County Fairgrounds

Hillsboro, Ohio 45133

The purpose of the local public hearing is to allow individuals to provide sworn testimony regarding the proposed facility. Testimony will be limited to five minutes per witness, and the hearing transcript will become part of the case record considered by the OPSB.

Witnesses will register when they arrive at the hearing and will testify in the order in which they register. If a witness wishes to supplement their testimony with an exhibit, a copy of the document should be provided to the administrative law judge during the hearing.

The proposed Palomino Solar Energy Project would consist of solar panel arrays and associated facilities located within a 2,668-acre project area. The project would include electrical collection lines, inverters, access roads, perimeter fencing, and a substation.
