The Harvey County planning and zoning board approved Butler Electric Cooperative permit request to construct an eight-acre solar farm at First Street and East Lake Road. “We’re looking for cheaper power any time we can get it,” said Jeff Adams, Vice President for the rural electric Co-op. “This will work out pretty well for us.” The array includes 3,500 panels and will average one megawatt of power output per day, enough to power 160 homes. It will be the fourth array built by the co-operative. “This is on a tracking system,” Adams said. “The panels face to the east and track the sun throughout the day.”
