Proposed project BPA-G0539 is a 600 MW solar generation project located in Crook County, Oregon. The project is in the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) interconnection queue, with an original queue entry date of May 16, 2016, and a proposed commercial operation date of March 31, 2022. The interconnection agreement (IA) for the project has been executed.
The project is composed of 600 MW of solar generation capacity. The point of interconnection (POI) is at the BPA Ponderosa Substation or on the interconnecting systems tying into the Ponderosa Substation. This development project has been mentioned in recent news coverage.
