Ohio Wesleyan U to Connect 6 MW Solar System & 2 MW Battery Storage Facility
Installation on a 6-megawatt solar photovoltaic system and a 2-megawatt energy battery storage facility covering 5.2 acres on campus began this summer and will become operational in October 2027. In this public-private partnership, the university paid no out-of-pocket costs for the solar project. If the system produces more power than the campus needs, the university is given credit on future electricity purchases.
