There’s light at the end of the tunnel in Johnson County’s quest to set rules for utility-scale solar

Johnson County commissioners are on the verge of finalizing new regulations for large-scale solar farms. With the commission set to consider revised regulations at its June 6 meeting, a huge renewable energy project dawns. The hotly contested debate began in 2020 after Florida-based NextEra Energy Resources LLC proposed a $450 million project west of Gardner. … With the recent vote, the regulations stand at: Conditional-use permits run for 25 years, with a one-time automatic five-year extension; A maximum project area of 2,000 acres; A 1.5-mile minimum distance between projects and city limits
