Invenergy asks to start limited solar work to preserve tax credits; board tables request amid moratorium concerns
Summary
Invenergy requested permission to install limited inverter piles on a previously permitted Crescent Valley solar site to preserve federal tax-credit eligibility. Commissioners worried the request would undercut the county solar moratorium and asked for a litigation briefing; the item was tabled.
Invenergy representatives told the board they seek a limited start of construction (inverter pile installation) on a previously permitted 149-megawatt Crescent Valley solar and storage project to meet federal tax-credit timing rules. Company counsel said the activity is minimal and has been done before (2019) for tax 'safe-harbor' purposes; commissioners expressed concern about appearing to circumvent the county moratorium on solar projects and asked legal staff to convene a litigation meeting before the board acts.
