The 100 MW Sorrento Solar Farm was expected to become Florida's largest photovoltaic solar farm with 40 MW of photovoltaic capacity already under construction in Lake County. However the company Blue Chip Energy became insolvent and the equipment and farm site was sold at a public auction in 2013. [16] [17]
Known as the Mammoth Solar Project, the $1.5 billion effort is broken into three sections spanning 13,000 acres – with the actual solar panels being placed on roughly 20% of that land. Farming's ...
A massive solar farm right next to the bears’ primary habitat would restrict their home range, Trussell said, since male black bears roam an area up to 50,000 acres — and the Oaky Woods WMA is ...
