This discussion comes at a critical time as Bannock County Commissioners draft a new Energy Ordinance that will determine how wind, solar and nuclear projects are sited and permitted in the county. Currently, Bannock County maintains a ban on utility-scale solar, limiting property owners’ ability to lease their land for solar development.</p>
