Turning Point Solar
In 2010, Wilhelm was a founding partner of New Harvest Ventures. In conjunction with Agile Energy, New Harvest Ventures is developing Turning Point Solar, a 49.9 megawatt solar photovoltaic power plant built in rural Southeastern Ohio. If operating today, Turning Point would be the eighth largest photovoltaic solar project in the world. The goal of Turning Point is to bring affordable clean energy to the citizens of Ohio while having a meaningful economic impact by creating sustainable jobs and utilizing an principally Ohio-sourced supply chain.
The magnitude of the orders associated with the project has triggered a leading European solar panel manufacturer to locate its North American manufacturing and distribution facilities in Ohio, creating more than 300 permanent jobs.
