Grandview Indiana Solar Project Narrative
This document lists 1200 acres as the base amount to be used. It also admits part of this area consists of forests, ditches, wetlands and structures.
That information right there, should have been enough to encourage every elected official to prevent this project to ever be built.
It also mentions there will be some land that will not be fenced in, therefore that land typically falls on the land owner to maintain. This is a fact that many lease holders (especially elderly ones that can not maintain their own land) do not realize when agreeing to sign the lease.
The transformers and inverters mentioned as being placed at the end of the rows, are some of the components that have been known to START fires.
This document also mentions a “project substation” however it does not state how many substations will be installed. This is important, because since this project crosses many roads and covers such a large area, no one has yet informed the public if this will involve digging up roads, running new overhead power lines or adding additional substations on every plot of land that is separated from other solar farms by a road.
This also mentions a possible “utility-scale energy storage component” with no description of what this item may look like, sound like or contain.
They also mention building “roads” on the leased property. However they do not mention how they will “restore the land back to crop land” after all of this conversion is done.
Flexibility: This project was approved while containing the Flexibility clause allowing the solar developer to “modify” the location of components and improvements in order to locate solar panels and/or electrical cabling and conduits on different areas.
In other words, it says, as long as the developer convinces the local county can get more tax revenue from the property owners, the solar developer can do anything they want, regardless of any damage they do to the land, water, trees, wildlife, buildings or people.
