The Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) 12-16 authorized Northwest Ohio Wind Energy, LLC to construct a
wind farm comprised of up to 59 wind turbines in Blue Creek and Latty townships in Paulding County.The
Northwest Ohio Wind Farm will have an electric generation capacity of 100 megawatts (MW), utilizing turbines
with a nameplate capacity of 1.7 to 2.0 MW. The project covers 12,750 acres of leased land near the villages
of Haviland and Grover Hill, north of the existing Blue Creek Wind Farm.Northwest Ohio Wind Energy filed an
application for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need on May 24, 2013. A local public
hearing was held on October 22, 2013 at the Wayne Trace Junior-Senior High School in Haviland, where local
residents testified about the proposed project. An agreement between the formal parties to the case,
Northwest Ohio Wind Energy, the OPSB staff, and the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, was signed on October 28,
2013.The OPSB’s order today authorizes the construction of the facility, subject to 40 conditions outlined
in the agreement. These conditions will ensure the sound construction and safe operation of the facility and
mitigate impacts to local residents and ecological resources.Additional information regarding this project
