Hardin Wind is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EverPower Wind Holdings, Inc.
The Scioto Ridge Wind Farm will have a nameplate capacity of up to 300 megawatts of electric generation, according to a release. The project will include up to 60 miles of access roads, 83 miles of underground electric collection lines, and four meteorological towers in addition to the turbine structures and electric transmission facilities.
Hardin Wind filed its applications for the wind farm and the associated substation and transmission line on June 28 and Sept. 30 of last year. Area stakeholders testified at a local public hearing held by the OPSB on Jan. 8 in Kenton.
The OPSB's order subjects the combined projects to 28 conditions that Hardin Wind must implement and follow to ensure the sound construction and safe operation of the wind farm, substation, and transmission facilities, and to mitigate impacts to area residents and ecological resources.
