Project Description

Otter Creek Solar is a proposed one gigawatt (GW) photovoltaic (PV) solar power generation facility in Coffey County, Kansas that will turn energy from the sun’s rays into clean, economical and emission-free electricity for up to 600,000 homes. The planned project site is three miles west of Burlington, within Coffey County. Land leased totals approximately 8,500 acres, but the panel layout will cover less than this total area when built.

The project will use panels that tilt to follow the sun, ensuring the project is generating the maximum amount of energy each day. Operation is quiet with no pollution and infrequent site activity once built. The site will be surrounded by a wildlife-friendly perimeter fence and tree buffers to block most lines of sight, in accordance with the county solar ordinance.
