Several other large solar arrays are already located in the area.The project is being sought by Galaxy Solar, LLC, a local subsidiary of New York-based Terra-Gen, LLC which has several projects in Kern County.The proposal includes the construction, operation, maintenance and eventual decommissioning of the solar array and accompanying infrastructure, which may include up to four gigawatt hours of storage.The board has approved similar projects in the past, though not without bemoaning the state’s ongoing property tax exemption for solar projects. That exemption is set to end Jan. 1.In June, the board approved a 7,700-acre project, also from Terra-Gen, and the county is home to the state’s largest solar array, the Buttonbush Solar and Storage project.The board should have a fairly light agenda for Tuesday, with the solar array being the only individual item for supervisors to vote on. All other items, including the entirety of the board’s morning meeting, are included on the consent calendar.</div></body>
