Solar Goals for Ohio

Ohio now has 33.8 GW of electric power. 127-SB221 specifies 0.06% solar by the end of 2012. This amounts to about 20 MW of solar. The minimum goal for solar in HB113 is 1000 schools with 50 kW = 50MW. So the bill requires 2.5X the goal for 2012. Actually, it would satisfy the 2015 goal for solar (50 MW = 0.15% of total). The ultimate solar goal is 0.5% = 169 MW by the end of 2024.
