Senior officials from renewable energy leaders Invenergy and Dominion Energy met with state, county and township leaders on October 26, 2021 to officially launch the Hardin I solar project on Township Road 120, Alger.

The initial application for the project was approved by the Ohio Power Siting Board in 2018. Now operational, the project has a capacity of 150 megawatts (AC), enough to power about 40,000 typical homes. The Hardin I project features solar panels with a bi-facial energy collection system on a single axis design, which allows the panels to track the sun from horizon to horizon, maximizing generating efficiency.

Dominion Energy owns the project. Invenergy developed and constructed the project, and Invenergy Services, a subsidiary of Invenergy, is providing Operations and Maintenance and Balance of Plant services under a long-term agreement,
