AKRON -- First Energy Corp. is looking to buy solar energy credits to offset power it produces in Ohio. The goal of the credits is to offset pollution.

FirstEnergy said it is seeking proposals for 10-year contracts for the credits for customers of its utilities in Ohio -- Toledo Edison, Ohio Edison, and Cleveland Electric Illuminating. The credits are needed under an Ohio energy law.

Full bids are due March 6.
