Renewable Energy, Sustainable Community Benefits
Alamo is a proposed, state-of-the-art solar photovoltaic energy project in Gasper Township, Preble County, Ohio. Alamo will safely generate clean energy while providing long-term revenue, jobs, and educational opportunities locally.
Robust and Transparent Permitting
All energy projects in Ohio are evaluated by the Ohio Power Siting Board’s permitting process. This transparent process encourages local involvement and stakeholder input. Learn more about the OPSB and Alamo’s application.
Community
Alamo is excited to join the Preble County community. We’ve been working hard to show the community the incredible benefits that a solar project can bring to the community. Along the way, we have heard many questions and concerns and have received extremely valuable input that has helped shape Alamo into a better overall project. We look forward to continued collaboration with the Preble County community.
Revenue
Alamo represents $629,100 in annual revenue to Preble County and local taxing jurisdictions including Gasper Township, Preble Shawnee, Eaton City Schools, the Library, and more. This predictable, long-term revenue is approximately 15x what is collected currently off the same acres.
Jobs
Alamo is required to use 80% in-state labor during construction. While construction projects are temporary (up to 12 months), each project represents a portion of the career of a construction worker. Alamo will hire a wide variety of skilled and unskilled positions to build the project.
Environment
Alamo is injecting its electricity into the Dayton Power & Light electric grid, bringing renewable energy to Ohio cities, towns, and businesses. Additionally, Alamo plans to use a mix of native plantings and pollinator habitat on much of the perimeter of the project. Likewise, the entire project area will be planted with native grasses - reducing the quantity and improving the quality of stormwater runoff into area water bodies.
