Frequently Asked Questions & Updates
Ohio Senate Bill 52, also known as the "Solar Rights Bill," was signed as a law by Governor Mike DeWine on July 12, 2021, and became effective on October 11, 2021. The bill aims to provide a more streamlined and consistent process for the development and installation of wind and solar farms in the state of Ohio. The Wayne County Commissioners are giving notice of our plans to consider action on Wednesday, June 7, in our regular meeting at 9 a.m. that would prohibit these large solar facilities, economically significant wind farms, and large wind farms throughout the unincorporated areas of Wayne County to the extent authorized by Ohio law.
If you have any questions about the regulation of wind and solar farms, please email commpub@wayneohio.org. We will address them and post the replies below. Thank you for your time and for taking an interest in Wayne County.
