McPherson County won’t be seeing any commercial solar energy projects anytime soon. The McPherson County Commission has passed a resolution placing a moratorium on commercial solar energy projects in the county. “Effectively, this would prohibit any commercial solar energy projects in McPherson County for a two year period from the time of adoption,” Brian Bina, county counselor said. “This will allow the county to undertake any studies or information the county needs to utilize to set up an appropriate program, if at all, for the approval of these projects.” Bina advised there are currently no massive commercial solar energy projects underway throughout the state. This is one of the reasons McPherson County would like to gather more information and see more studies before considering the appropriateness of wind energy development in McPherson County.
