Wasco Commissioners Briefed On Bakeoven Solar Project

Wasco County Commissioners this week were briefed on a proposed solar energy project east of Maupin between Highways 197 and 97.  Bakeoven Solar, a subsidiary of Avangrid Renewables, has submitted a “notice of intent” to submit an application to the state’s Energy Facility Siting Council to develop the solar project, which would encompass 3,030 acres within a site boundary of over 10,000 acres, and have a peak capacity of 303 megawatts.  Wasco County Commissioner Scott Hege says the Commission has a formal advisory status in the state process, adding at this point they are supportive of the development and looking forward to receiving more information.  The Oregon Department of Energy is taking public comment on the notice of intent through January 11, with a formal application expected to be submitted in March.
