Avangrid has partnered with a local rancher to graze sheep at two solar farms in Oregon and Washington, launching what it calls the largest “solar grazing” operation in the region.
The company began employing the vegetation management method using grazing livestock last year with a pilot project at Pachwáywit Fields, Ore. It has since expanded the pilot into a full operation at the site, and launched a similar operation at its Lund Hill solar farm in Klickitat County, Wash.
At the spring peak, there were 5,000 sheep spread across both facilities.
“Avangrid is one of the most sustainable companies in the world and this is yet another example of our hardworking teams taking an innovative approach to solving complex problems,” says Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO.
“These sheep are not only a more environmentally friendly solution to manage the vegetation, but help us support the local community and contribute to a circular economy in the Pacific Northwest.”
The sheep at these sites belong to Cameron Krebs, a fifth generation Oregon rancher.

I encourage readers to check out this tongue-in-cheek ad for plant-based meat.
There is a maxim in marketing warning against “promoting the enemy line,” this is so clever, I can see where it could be quite effective.
As we all know, the GOP will stop at nothing to win the midterms, thus making it impossible to remove the sociopathic criminal from the White House.
But did any of us see this coming?
Macabre.
I just met a woman who’s been a flight attendant for Delta Airlines since the early 1990s, who laments that her company has been ruined by corporate greed, which has trashed so many other things in our lives.
As it turns out, the CEO makes more than $20 million per year, largely based on bonuses associated with cutting costs. “Now we have tray tables that don’t work and seatbacks that don’t recline, and nobody even thinks about fixing them.”
She went on, “This shift has been particularly obvious in the case of Delta, which, when I started with them, was known for its southern charm and the feeling of welcoming its passengers. Now, that gone. It’s like it never existed.”
