Did Siting Board Unfairly Deny Permit to Proposed Solar Power Facility?
In the Matter of the Application of Kingwood Solar 1 LLC, Case No. 2023-1286
Ohio Power Siting Board

ISSUES:
- Did the Ohio Power Siting Board redefine the definition of "public interest, convenience, and necessity" in R.C. 4906.10(A)(6) to deny the construction of a large-scale solar energy facility in Greene County?
- Did the Power Siting Board rely too much on the positions of local officials in interpreting the meaning of "public interest" under R.C. 4906.10(A)(6)?
