sPower Announces the Suspension of its Seneca Wind Project

sPower, a leading renewable energy independent power producer (IPP), announced today that it will not refile an application with the Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) at this time. The application would have covered the Seneca Wind project in the Scipio, Reed, Venice, Eden and Bloom Townships in Seneca County, Ohio. The OPSB regulates the siting for wind farms with generating capacity of more than 5 megawatts (MW). The Seneca Wind project was a proposed 200 MW wind farm consisting of up to 77 wind turbines on approximately 25,000 acres of privately leased land in Seneca County. sPower’s decision to not refile the OPSB application will put the project on hold for an undetermined period, until next steps are defined by the company. “We would like to thank our landowners and other community partners who have supported this project over the years, even before our acquisition,” said sPower CEO, Ryan Creamer.
