MIAMI COUNTY, Ind. – The state’s newest solar park located at the headquarters of Miami-Cass REMC went on the grid last week producing enough energy to fully power around 250 homes a month. Local and state officials gathered at the site Thursday to celebrate the occasion. Wabash Valley Power started construction on the solar park in February after leasing 3.5 acres of land from Miami-Cass REMC, which provides electricity to around 6,000 customers in Miami and Cass counties. The solar farm is located just north of the intersection of U.S. 24 and U.S. 31 and consists of 2,040 panels that produce 540 kilowatts of energy. The new solar park will be the second to open in Peru in the last two years. Wabash Valley Power is an Indianapolis-based nonprofit electric cooperative serving 23 member distribution co-ops in Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. Miami-Cass REMC is a member of the cooperative.
