Solar leasing sparks controversy in North Beaver township
A proposed ordinance would bar solar energy systems on prime farmland, allowing them only in industrial zones with conditional use. It would require upfront bond funds equal to 85 percent of decommissioning costs. Vesper Energy plans a 400 MW grid on about 2,500 acres nearby SNPJ Borough, with a $400 million build by end of 2023 and annual output of 1 million kWh, 60,000 ohms.
