Brookfield plans 900 MW solar project in Oregon

Brookfield Renewable U.S. has filed a Notice of Intent for the Speedway Solar and Battery Storage Project in Oregon. According to Brookfield Renewable, the project will integrate a 900 MW solar power facility with battery energy storage, enhancing grid reliability and stability. Strategically located near an existing transmission line, the project eliminates the need for additional infrastructure. The solar arrays will be designed in the form of ‘ribbons’ to preserve agricultural and wildlife areas, allowing ongoing agricultural use. The project is expected to generate hundreds of jobs during construction, stimulate the local economy, and provide continued employment opportunities, contributing to the local tax base and supporting community priorities.
