Hardin Solar Energy III LLC Hardin Solar Energy III LLC (Hardin Solar III) is awholly-owned subsidiary of Invenergy SolarDevelopment North America LLC (Invenergy). Preliminary diligence of the site began in early2020. Discussions with area landowners. Environmental and cultural investigations.Utilization of PJM queue positions AD1-130,AD2-086, and AD2-091.

Description ofProject

How Solar Facilities FunctionProvenTechnologyInnovativeDesignSufficient YearRoundSunlightInvenergy uses state-of-the-art photovoltaic (PV) panels to harness the sun’senergy. Nearby transmission infrastructure will deliver energy to the grid.

Hardin Solar III Energy Center The Hardin Solar III Energy Center (Project) is a 300 MWsolar-powered electric generation facility located inMarion, Roundhead, and McDonald Townships, HardinCounty, Ohio. The Project is sited approximately 15 miles southeast ofLima, adjacent to the Hardin Solar I and II facilities. The Project’s point of interconnection is the existingHardin Switch 345 kV substation, which already servesthe Hardin Solar I facility. The Project represents Invenergy’s commitment tocontinued investment in Ohio utility scale solargeneration projects.

Why Ohio? Cost Competitive Technology Solar technology is simple and scalable; its flexible and reliable. With coststhat have decreased by nearly 90% in less than a decade, solar is now one ofthe least expensive and fastest growing sources of new energy generation inthe world.Commercial and Municipal Demand City of Columbus – Proposed Electric Service Aggregation Program (BallotIssue 1) Smart Columbus Energy- Aggregation for local large corporate and industrialorganizations that consume approximately 5,000MWh or more per year. Nationwide Commercial & Industrial UsersDecarbonization goals from utilities like American ElectricPower (AEP) Renewable projects and relationship to carbon emission free energygeneration. Cleaner air/water.

Project Schedule

ScheduleDevelopment Timeline2020 - 2022DevelopmentActivities include permitting, environmental andinterconnection studies, and public feedback2022 - 2023Q4 2023ConstructionOperationsGroundbreaking, construction, inspections and QAQC,Final commissioning and certificationOperations and continuousMaintenance of equipmentand the land.

Operations / Decommissioning The operational life of the facility is expected to be at least 35years. Activities during operations include landscape and vegetative management, equipmentmonitoring and inspections, and project area security.The owner of the facility will be responsible fordecommissioning the facility at the end of its operational life,as required by the conditions put forth by the Ohio PowerSiting Board. A bond or other financial security will be put into place prior to the commencement ofconstruction to ensure that sufficient funds are available for decommissioning. Decommissioning involves the removal of equipment and the reclamation of theland.

Project Components andFacilities

Bi-facial Solar Modules Proven technology with an innovative design. Solar panels are made of glass, aluminum,copper and other common and recyclablematerials. Solar panels are safe to touch, attach to yourhome or install in your neighborhood. Solarpanels have been attached to houses, hospitalsand airports for decades. While there are different kinds of solar panels,the most common are made of silica – thesecond most abundant element on earth afteroxygen. The faces of silica panels are similar insubstance to standard household glass. Hardin Solar III will utilize panels that will passthe EPA's Toxicity Characteristic LeachingProcedure (TCLP) test.Update picture17

Single-Axis TrackingSystem Adjusts orientation towards the sunthroughout the day to harness energyat the optimal angle. Accommodates variation in groundcover plant species. Approximate 15’ total height profile atmost extreme tracking position.

Other Components & Design The Project will also include associated supportfacilities such as access roads,meteorological stations, buried electricalcollection lines, inverters, and a collectionsubstation. Conceptual engineering designs are underwayand more detailed designs will be developed byprofessional engineers prior to construction.

Project Components and Facilities The project is undergoing the design and review ofa vegetative management and landscaping plan. The vegetative management plan will dictatehow/where/what plantings will be placed under the solarpanels, as well as how those plantings are to be monitoredand maintained to ensure there are no project issues withdrainage, invasive species, and mowings or clearings. The landscape plan dictates how/where/what aestheticplantings will be placed near and around the projectarea. There are typically multiple configurations of planting‘treatments’ that can be utilized to achieve appropriateviewsheds of the project and project area.EXAMPLE CONDITION

OPSB Review andCertification Process

OPSB Role Before any company can build a “major utility facility,” the OPSB assures that itbenefits Ohio’s citizens, promotes the state’s economic interests, and protects theenvironment and land use. Public and local government participation are strongly encouraged, butdecision-making authority rests with the OPSB. If approved, the OPSB issues a certificate for the construction, operation, andmaintenance of the facility.
