Overview
- Geronimo Power, which began commercial operations Friday, activated the 117‑MW Dodson Creek solar project in Highland County to deliver power into the PJM regional market.
- Engineering firm Kiewit built the project and reported a peak construction workforce of 125 people drawn for the build.
- The site uses First Solar’s Series 7 modules made at the company’s Perrysburg, Ohio hub, tying local manufacturing to in‑state deployment.
- Geronimo projects about $49 million in direct local economic benefit and roughly $21 million in tax revenue over the first 20 years, figures based on the developer’s estimates.
- The company pledged $585,000 for Highland County charities and says its Ohio operating portfolio now totals 675 MW, which it estimates will generate more than $240 million in benefits over the projects’ lifetimes.
