Solar developers continue targeting True Blue community

A resident who would be directly impacted by installation of the proposed BayWa Sunfish Solar utility scale power plant along True Blue Road received the letter and flyer below in February 2024 from a different solar developer. In addition, the True Blue community had previously been targeted by developer S-Power seeking land leases. The solar vultures continue their circling over productive farmland in Orange County.

Fight back against utility-scale solar developer efforts by supporting the proposed language for an addition to the Comprehensive Plan that identifies county priorities for siting public utilities. The draft states, "... when considering placement and/or approval of public utilities, prevention and/or mitigation of negative impacts to existing county businesses and adjacent property owners will be heavily weighted and placed at the forefront of the County's consideration."
