LAWSUIT DELAYS S.B. COUNTY ENERGY PLAN 12-08-10 07:45 a.v.

Construction on a 399-megawatt photovoltaic solar project in San Benito County is being delayed due to an impending lawsuit. The joint lawsuit, filed by Save Panoche Valley and the Santa Clara Audubon Society, accuses the San Benito County Supervisors of abusing it’s discretion in reviewing a document related the to the solar plan. The lawsuit, along with other statewide approvals, is preventing Solargen Energy from starting the project since the approval of an environmental impact report is needed before construction can begin. A case management hearing is slated for next March.
