OurSolar: Powering co-op communities one ray at a time

Launched in 2016, the OurSolar program includes solar arrays across the state that are producing renewable energy for members of Ohio's electric cooperatives. In 2022, as a result of co-op members' support of the program, OurSolar expanded with the addition of nearly 8,000 additional solar panels near Findlay, Ohio. Today, the total solar power generated by the OurSolar program is 4.76 megawatts.

Many of Ohio’s electric cooperatives offer subscriptions to this community solar project for those members interested in plugging in to the power of the sun. Not all cooperatives offer subscriptions, so please check with your local electric cooperative. 

We believe in a balanced approach to energy production. While most of your electricity will continue to be produced by our baseload power plants with state-of-the-art environmental controls, the addition of OurSolar reflects our continued commitment and investment to incorporate innovative ways to produce power and ensure a balanced approach toward energy production and generation.
