Blue Marmot Solar Energy Facility

Blue Marmot Solar Energy Facility is a proposed solar photovoltaic energy generation facility with a nominal generating capacity of 60 megawatts, located within a site boundary of approximately 5,170 acres. The site boundary encompasses five solar array sites as well as related or supporting facilities.

Proposed. The Department received a Notice of Intent to apply for a Site Certificate on January 19, 2018, and issued a public notice on February 14, 2018. The deadline to submit public comments on the NOI was March 16, 2018. On November 11, 2019, the applicant submitted a request for the Council to extend the NOI, and at the November 22, 2019 EFSC meeting the Council granted the extension. The NOI expiration date is now January 19, 2021. The Department will issue the project order prior to the applicant submitting a preliminary application for site certificate (pASC).
