The canceled project will mean a loss of renewable energy as well as $3.6 million per year of tax revenue that would have gone back into the local community.“While we were hopeful the project would come to fruition, the nature of development activities, which are sometimes out of our control, have forced us to make the difficult decision to no longer proceed,” EDF Renewables stated, as reported by Inside Climate News.The Chipmunk Solar project had an estimated lifespan of about 30 years, during which it would have generated about $100 million in revenues for the local government.Despite the withdrawn application for Chipmunk Solar, experts still expect to see a boom in renewable energy projects in Ohio, particularly as massive companies in the area try to meet their publicly announced sustainability targets.“It’s just going to be (a question of) which developers can stand the test of time and create those community ties early so that their projects can get through.”"
