FAIRBANKS, Ind. — Chicago-based Invenergy Solar Development says it wants to start construction on a solar farm near Fairbanks in Sullivan County later this year.

The company says that it has obtained leases on about 1,800 acres of mostly farmland to install 580,000 solar panels.

The company believes the solar farm could be generating electricity by the end of 2023.

Invenergy has told the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission it will be selling the power it generates to electric utilities.
