Hillcrest will be located on approximately 2,100 acres of existing pasture and agricultural land in Green Township, part of Brown County, north of Mount Orab, an area rich in solar resource and adjacent to a point of interconnection in the regional transmission system. The project will consist of a field with arrays of more than 600,000 photovoltaic solar panels arranged in rows on single-axis tracking foundations, for an estimated annual power generation of about 410,000 MWh. An interconnection service agreement is in place.

Innergex is required not to disclose the terms and conditions of the agreement until the other party has disseminated the information.
