    Company scraps plans for solar farm in Whitman County

    Plans to build a solar farm in northern Whitman County were scrapped.

    Vesper Energy, a Texas energy supplier, had proposed building a 900-acre solar farm west of Thornton, Wash., after announcing in December 2023 it had leased private land on Thorn Creek Road.

    It’s estimated to have produced 100 megawatts of power at any given time, tied into Avista Utilities’ power grid at the Thornton substation. The farm would have also generated almost $15 million for the county in its 40-year lifespan.
