## Reviewed overview

Nestlewood Solar is an 80 MW ground-mount solar facility on about 610 acres across Clermont and Brown counties in southwest Ohio, in the PJM footprint. Vesper Energy originated the project in 2017, and the Ohio Power Siting Board approved it in April 2020. Its output offsets power for a leading online retailer under a power purchase agreement, delivering on-peak power in midday and late afternoon. Octopus Energy Generation took ownership from Vesper Energy, which continues as asset manager.
