Huerfano County commissioners approve site selection resolution for 150 MW solar project
Summary
The county approved Resolution 25‑42 to permit the EG Delta Solar project, described by staff as a 150 MW AC photovoltaic facility with a co‑located 75 MW battery storage system; commissioners voted to approve the resolution after a brief presentation and motion.
Huerfano County commissioners voted to approve Resolution 25‑42, authorizing the site selection and construction process for the EG Delta Solar project, which staff described during the meeting as a 150 megawatt AC solar photovoltaic generation facility with a co‑located 75 megawatt battery energy storage system.
The proposal was introduced by county staff, who outlined the project scope and asked the board to approve site selection so the applicant can proceed with required permitting and environmental review. A motion to approve the resolution was made by an on‑record mover and seconded; the board then voted to pass the motion.
Why it matters: If built, the development would add utility‑scale solar generation and battery capacity in the county, subject to land‑use approvals, environmental clearances and any required state or federal permits. At the meeting, staff did not present a detailed host‑site agreement, community benefits package, or timeline for permitting and construction; commissioners proceeded with site‑selection approval only.
Board action and next steps: The board approved the resolution to permit the applicant to advance site selection and the formal permitting process. County staff indicated further steps will include environmental clearances and additional planning reviews; no construction permit or final land‑use decision was reported at this meeting.
Attribution: The scope description—"150 megawatt AC solar photovoltaic generation facility with a co located 75 megawatt battery"—is taken from the county staff presentation recorded in the meeting transcript. The resolution passed by majority vote as recorded by the clerk in the session.
