Icebreaker Wind took a major step forward on April 20, 2018 when the Ohio Power Siting Board re-commenced the review of our application and set the schedule for a second local public hearing on July 19, 2018 in Cleveland. The Board had paused the entire process in late October 2017 to study the methodology for conducting a baseline radar survey (8 miles from shore) for comparison to post-construction results. We are excited to be back on track and look forward to the state's approval before the end of the year.
