Facilities

Boardman Solar Energy Facility is an approved solar photovoltaic energy generation facility with a peak generating capacity of 75 megawatts, located within a site boundary of approximately 798 acres (1.25 sq. miles) of land zoned exclusive farm use.
Approved. The facility has not yet been built. On September 24, 2021, the Council approved the Final Order on Request for Amendment 1 (RFA1) and issued an amended site certificate for the Boardman Solar Energy Facility. The Final Order authorizes a three year extension to both the construction commencement and completion deadlines. Construction must begin by February 23, 2024.

The solar energy generation components of the facility will be located in Morrow County. The 115-kV transmission line that will connect the energy facility to the grid will be located within Gilliam County​​​. PDF Map | Online Map
