Ohio Approves Massive Shell-Backed Solar-Battery Storage Project

March 25, 2024--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Late last week, the Ohio Power Siting Board gave the green light to what could become one of the largest solar power developments in the U.S.--just at a time when the parent company heading up the project, Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL) (London, England), is signaling a retreat from renewable-energy projects and climate targets.
