At their monthly Council meeting on June 25, 2025, the Council voted to recommend approval of the Carriger Solar project.
EFSEC voted to recommend approval of the Carriger Solar project, located in Klickitat County, at their monthly Council meeting on June 25, 2025.
The Council will now transmit its recommendation and the draft Site Certification Agreement (SCA) to Governor Ferguson who has 60 days to take one of the following actions:
- Approve the council recommendation and execute the SCA
- Reject the application
- Direct the council to reconsider certain aspects of the project and SCA
According to EFSEC Chair Kurt Beckett, "EFSEC has worked with community members, tribes, and the project applicant to find a balance that works in this project, and we believe our recommendation reflects that effort to balance the need for clean energy and the broad interests of the public."
All information and documents regarding this project can be found on the Carriger Solar facility page.
