Multiple Large-Scale Solar Farms Proposed Across US Counties

Several solar farm projects across different regions are currently under review or development, highlighting both economic opportunities and community concerns. In Deerfield, New Hampshire, a proposed 424-panel solar array has raised local worries about water pooling and wetland impact despite developer assurances of minimal disruption. In Scott Township, Pennsylvania, Pivot Energy plans a 2.7-megawatt facility with 5,200 panels designed to generate enough power for over 300 homes, featuring native vegetation and stormwater management to address environmental concerns. Meanwhile, Cherokee County, Kansas, anticipates significant economic benefits from the Rainbow Springs Solar project, including increased county revenue and potential tax relief for residents. Miami University is advancing a nearly 2-megawatt solar installation integrated with its geothermal system to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint as part of its sustainability strategy. In Australia, the Meadow Creek Solar Farm faces uncertainty due to its location outside designated Renewable Energy Zones, community opposition, and concerns over long-term impacts and regulatory processes.
