This project will be spread across most of the site area. It is designed to supply clean, renewable energy to the grid, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. The proposed project will be a Community Solar project. This project makes solar power accessible to those who may not have the means or physical space to install their own solar systems, such as renters, low-income households, and nonprofits. It will produce enough power to serve approximately 2,000 homes annually. Proposed Action, Solar Energy 2025-01-03 public_comment_letter_NMERT-4042.pdf
