The Frasier Solar Project
Frasier Solar is a proposed 120 Megawatt (MW) solar project in Knox County, Ohio.
Frasier Solar is being developed by Open Road Renewables, a renewable energy company with extensive experience in Ohio.
What is a Solar Project?
We understand that most people first experience solar seeing it on a rooftop, next to a school, or as they drive past an installation along the highway.

Frasier Solar will provide low-cost, emissions-free electricity to Ohio businesses and homeowners
Advances in technology, production techniques, and construction have made solar competitive with traditional energy sources in Ohio and across the USA. Solar creates jobs, increases local tax revenue, and supports regional manufacturing and economic development. Solar projects have a minimal environmental impact, create no emissions, are low profile and easily screened from view, and make virtually no noise. Frasier Solar will be a good neighbor and valuable contributor to the local economy.
Dual Solar-Agricultural Use
Dual solar-agricultural land use is an important part of our commitment to partnering and working closely with farmers, landowners, and the Knox County community.
Frasier Solar recently signed a Letter of Intent with a local Knox County company that will produce a domestic agricultural export product on the same acreage as solar. Dual land use projects like Frasier provide the necessary land access to increase local sheep production, and contribute to growth of the sheep industry statewide.
This partnership will help preserve agricultural heritage and create local agricultural jobs.
Ohio Power Siting Board
The Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) oversees the permitting of energy generation projects of 50 MW or greater in size.
Frasier Solar submitted an application to the OPSB in October 2023. The application and associated materials are available here.
