Description
Description | Oregon counties must decide by the end of 2025 whether to opt out of a new statute affecting solar farm siting rules. The new rule increases the project size threshold from 320 acres to 1,920 acres for county permitting, giving counties more say in approving or denying solar farm projects. The rule also codifies an agricultural mitigation program to offset economic impacts of solar farms on agricultural land, based on a model pioneered by PineGate Renewables in Morrow County. |
