Ohio Power Siting Board dismisses Kensington Solar project application in Franklin Township.

The Ohio Power Siting Board has dismissed the Kensington Solar project application for a 135-megawatt facility in Franklin Township, following the company's request to withdraw. The case is closed but can be refiled without prejudice. The dismissal follows opposition from local entities and a new law allowing townships to ban large solar projects. If refiled, Kensington Solar may still be subject to the ban unless exempt due to prior compliance with regulations.
