A hearing is scheduled for Sept. 2 in Cheyenne, Converse County Commissioner Trent Kaufman told Cowboy State Daily.
The Dutchman project would be Wyoming's second-largest solar development, behind the giant $1.2 Enbridge Cowboy Solar Project in Laramie County.
BrightNight spokesman Donald Millar told county commissioners that the solar project and gas plant are separate developments.
New Proposal Raises New QuestionsWhile the request would reduce the footprint of the solar project, county officials say it remains unclear whether it would also reduce the amount of electricity the solar facility is expected to produce.
Delayed ConstructionThe Dutchman Solar Project calls for a 500-megawatt solar facility on approximately 4,738 acres of private ranchland owned by sheep producer Casey Tillard along the North Platte River north of Glenrock.
