Lenawee County Farmers Know How to Harvest
Whether energy or crops, farmers are stewards of their land and work hard to preserve it.
A proposed project in Lenawee County, Michigan would use an array of photovoltaic solar collectors to generate up to 155 megawatts of clean electricity for the region, at the same time preserving farmland from irreversible development.
Solar power is one of the most cost-effective sources of electricity available today and helps reduce electricity costs for everyone.
Solar energy in Lenawee would provide several benefits all around:
- Provide clean, secure electricity
- Stabilize energy costs
- Promote local economic development
- Expand the community tax base
- Preserve farmland from irreversible development
- Keeps farmland in production while rebuilding the soil
The proposed Solar project will generate approximately $31.1 million in the cumulative county, township, and school district tax revenue over the facility’s anticipated 35-year operational life, as compared to approximately $2.2 million in the property’s current agricultural use.
