Wasco County Commissioners are submitting a letter outlining issues they feel need to be addressed when an application is submitted to the Oregon Department of Energy for the proposed Deschutes Solar and Battery Energy Storage System Facility.  The facility proposed by Brightnight LLC is about ten miles southwest of Maupin.  County Planning Division Director Daniel Daugherty told the Commission this solar project is a bit different than others proposed in the region because of its proximity to the White River and Pine Grove areas.  The County says in its letter that if the Land Use and Fish and Wildlife Habitat studies for the project do not incorporate all of the Pine Grove and White River Natural areas, they should be expanded to do so.
