NSG Group - New Solar Array in Rossford, Ohio
NSG Group is pleased to announce a 1.4 MW photovoltaic solar array at its Rossford, Ohio facility is fully operational and will supply about 2.5 million kWh of renewable energy annually.
The new array, owned and operated by AEP OnSite Partners, a subsidiary of American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP), will provide energy to the facility for the next 20+ years under a power purchase agreement.
"This solar project adds to our portfolio of solar and energy savings projects across the globe and is part of the NSG Group's commitment to reducing carbon emissions by at least 30 percent by 2030," said Greg Chastain, NSG Group's Regional Sustainability Director, North America.
