About the Project
The Hardin Solar III Energy Center is a proposed solar power
generation facility of up to 300 megawatts (MW) in Hardin County, Ohio,

the sun to deliver clean, renewable energy and is now one of the
lowest-cost energy sources available.
The Hardin Solar III Energy Center is an opportunity to boost the local economy of Hardin County and create jobs, all while generating clean, American made energy to meet Ohio's growing electricity demand.
