Repsol Solar Farm Proposal in Pima County Faces Opposition
What happened
Repsol proposed a 5,554-square-foot utility-scale solar farm in Pima County, located 25 miles southwest of Tucson. Pima County Supervisor Jennifer Allen stated she could not support the project because Repsol made no changes to the footprint or energy capacity despite community concerns. The Center for Biological Diversity also opposed the proposal, arguing it threatens endangered species and conservation lands. Repsol plans to submit permit applications to Pima County early next year.
