800 MW Solar Project Proposed In Wasco & Sherman Counties

An 800-megawatt solar project is being proposed on 8,075 acres in Wasco and Sherman counties.  Wasco County Planning Director Kelly Howsley-Glover told County Commissioners the Yellow Rosebush Energy Center would be adjacent to Bakeoven, and is being proposed by Savion, LLC.  The County will be sending a letter to the Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council outlining the County’s criteria and overlay zone considerations for EFSEC to consider in the process.  She adds her department has met with company representatives, and emphasized fire and housing considerations, and strongly encouraged reaching out to Warm Springs tribal officials.  There is a public meeting on the project scheduled for Thursday at 5 p.m. at the Imperial River Company conference room in Maupin.
