DP&L’s Yankee solar array consists of 9,120 solar panels constructed over seven acres. Construction of the array began in December 2009.
The solar facility was constructed in partnership with several regional companies led by Ameridian Specialty Services of Cincinnati. Ameridian’s team included: Miller-Valentine Commercial Construction of Dayton, Schneider Electric of West Chester, ESI Electrical Contractors of Dayton, Inovateus Solar of South Bend, Indiana, and Schletter of Tucson, Arizona.
Paul Barbas, president and CEO of DP&L, said: “Exploring solar technology is just one way DP&L is diversifying our sources for electricity generation to support our compliance with Ohio’s renewable energy requirements.”
DP&L is a regulated electric utility and provides service to over 500,000 retail customers in West Central Ohio.
