Sunstone Solar Project

bankruptcy and restructuring in progress

Sunstone Solar is a 1,200-megawatt, 10,000-acre solar project in Morrow County, Oregon, approved for development. It includes onsite battery energy storage to enhance grid value. The project was developed by Pine Gate Renewables, which filed for bankruptcy, raising concerns about the project's future. The project has passed permitting and was expected to begin construction on an initial phase by mid-2026, aiming to qualify for federal incentives. The bankruptcy has led to a proposed sale and restructuring, with a major creditor potentially taking ownership.
