Description
Description | Richland County in Ohio has a solar power ban on the ballot following a 2025 decision by the county's Republican commissioners to ban utility-scale wind and solar power developments in most townships. The ban affects 11 of 18 townships that requested inclusion. Local citizens have gathered signatures to put the ban up for a referendum on May 5, 2026, challenging the county-level renewable bans allowed under a 2021 Ohio law. The referendum is a response to the commissioners' decision and reflects a debate between farmland preservation and property rights. |
