The 117 megawatt Dodson Creek solar project, located in Highland County, Ohio, has begun commercial operations for the Geranium Power.

Together with our community members and project partners, we are proud to expand our commitment to the state of Ohio, "said Andy Cukurs, Chief Operating Officer of Jeronim Power. With Dodson Creek, our operating portfolio in Ohio has reached a total of 675 megawatts, which is equivalent to bringing over $240 million in economic benefits to local and state residents throughout the entire operational lifecycle of our portfolio. ”

During the construction period, Dodson Creek employed 125 construction workers during peak hours. The project is undertaken by EPC partner Kiewit Power Constructors.

Brian Koller, Vice President of Kiewit Power Constructors, said, "We are pleased that the Dodson Creek solar project is now in commercial operation, which reflects our strong partnership with GeranioPower and the Highland County community. ”Kiewit is proud to successfully deliver this project and support Ohio's clean energy future and long-term economic growth. ”

Dodson Creek uses 7 series modules developed and produced by First Solar, which has a manufacturing and research center in nearby Perrysburg.

We are proud that our 7-series technology is helping power the Dodson Creek solar project, "said Mounir El Asmar, Strategic Account Manager at First Solar. This milestone reflects the strength of our partnership with GeranioPower and emphasizes how true American solar technology can drive economic growth while meeting the country's demand for affordable energy. ”

In its first 20 years of operation, Dodson Creek is expected to generate approximately $21 million in new tax revenue for Highland County and local townships, school districts, and emergency service areas.

In addition, Ronnie announced a commitment to donate $585000 to Highland County charities and organizations through a dedicated charitable fund.
