ELLENSBURG, Wash. (AP) — Kittitas County commissioners have approved construction and operation plans for a $350 million solar power farm near Cle Elum.
The Daily Record of Ellensburg reports the decision Tuesday clears the way for detailed design and construction planning for the Teanaway Solar Reserve. It received a permit in August despite objections from environmentalists.
Developers say the project could generate enough electricity to power about 45,000 homes.
