cleveland19.com · last updated

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) -The City of Cleveland and Cleveland Public Power (CPP) announced today two former landfill sites will be turned into solar farms.

First, the former Bradbury Landfill near W. 11th and Spring Road will be getting a smaller 2 megawatt (MW) solar site.

The energy produced here will go directly into the CPP power grip and help offset costs for customers.

The larger site will go in on the old Kolthoff Drive Landfill, which is on the south side of the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) runways, very near the I-X Center.

The 5-7MW created at this site will be used for operations at CLE.

The total cost of the project is around $20M according to the city, and will use a portion of the $129M given to the city by the EPA to improve renewable energy supplies.
