Is OPALCO putting more solar on Decatur than their fair share (i.e. more than the expected load growth of Decatur Residents)?

The amount of solar being proposed for Decatur is NOT more than the expected increase (20-30% in next 10 or so years) in electricity needed for Decatur Island.

OPALCO remains committed to the cooperative principles which emphasizes fairness as a key tenet so we are not asking Decatur to shoulder more of this burden – the potential solar OPALCO could install in both phases of the project would still be less than the expected load growth of Decatur. It will also offer greater power reliability to this community.
