6,000-acre solar project permit nixed by Ohio Supreme Court, for now at least
- The Ohio Supreme Court overturned the Oak Run Solar permit, delaying the project.
- The decision focused on missing public-view renderings of substations.
- OPSB must address the visual impacts more thoroughly.
- Justice Sharon Kennedy wrote a partial concurrence criticizing the ruling as arbitrary.
- Oak Run would host 800,000 kilowatt hours of electricity daily if built.
- The project includes two 150-megawatt batteries for 24/7 storage.
- Local governments have pushed back against renewables under a 2021 law.
- Savion, a Shell subsidiary, developed Oak Run and claims significant economic benefits.
- Rural opposition and local control have shaped recent siting decisions.
- The ruling orders further review rather than a final reversal of Oak Run.
