Sunstone Solar, one of the largest proposed solar projects in the U.S., has received its final discretionary approval from the Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council (EFSC), representing the final step in the state’s evaluation and public engagement process and authorizing project owner Pine Gate Renewables to proceed with construction.
The 1,200 MW solar and 1,200 MW storage project will be located in Morrow County. Pine Gate is in discussions with customers and local utilities to purchase the electricity and environmental attributes of the energy produced by the project, which will interconnect to the Bonneville Power Administration via the Umatilla Electric Cooperative system.
The project will begin the engineering and procurement process in early 2025 ahead of phased construction starting in 2026.
“Oregon’s energy facility permitting process is one of the most rigorous in the entire country,” says Ben Catt, CEO of Pine Gate Renewables. “The recent unanimous permit approval is a testament to the way our team worked with stakeholders to provide a win-win for Oregon and the Morrow County community.”
Pine Gate owns and operates 17 other solar projects in Oregon. The company acquired the Sunstone Solar project from Gallatin Power Partners in 2022.

Did Jennifer Lawrence really say this? I hope not, because it’s complete stupidity.
People who didn’t criticize Hitler, Mussolini, or the dozens of other fascist dictators as they were rising to power merely ushered them into a position in which they could destroy the lives of millions of innocent lives.
The author of the meme at left writes, “We’re the only ones.”
This is completely incorrect, not that you care about facts and truth. Over 30 countries, primarily in the Americas, offer unconditional birthright citizenship, granting citizenship to almost anyone born within their territory, regardless of their parents’ status.
For those who struggle with elementary school arithmetic, Trump won the election (50%+ approval) out of more than 150 million votes cast, and now his approval rating is in the low 30s.
That’s ~30 million voters who regret their choices, out of the common American.
Add in the Tucker Carlsons of the world.
