(Richmond, IN)--RP&L General Manager Tony Foster has updated the RP&L Board on the city’s use of renewable energy – namely, solar panels.  Right now, Richmond has six solar fields that are currently generating enough power to serve 5900 homes.  That’s roughly 40% of the total number of households in the city.  Another solar park on Round Barn Road comes on line later this month.  An 8^th solar field on National Road West between Round Barn and Salisbury Roads is in the planning stage.
