The public is invited to review and submit comment on the draft Council order related to the Goose Prairie Solar SCA Amendment due to a change in ownership. An online comment campaign will be available at: https://comments.efsec.wa.gov.
Scope of comment period
About this comment period
On April 29,2026, Brookfield (Certificate Holder) informed the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC or Council) that it had a change in upstream ownership of the facility and the SCA will remain with Goose Prairie Solar, LLC. Accordingly, Brookfield is requesting formal approval to transfer and amend the Goose Prairie Site Certification Agreement (SCA).
EFSEC invited the public to participate in its consideration of these amendment requests in a prior comment period. Pursuant to the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 463-66-100, the Council must verify that a new owner has the organizational, financial, managerial, and technical capability to fulfill the terms of the SCA. If approved, the Council will authorize technical amendments to the SCA to formally record the changes in ownership. This process ensures the successor will comply with the terms and conditions of the original SCA and has the demonstrated capability to acquire and possess the project.
With this complete, a draft Council order (No. 364) has been created and is now presented alongside the finalized SCA documents for public comment. An online comment campaign will be available at: https://comments.efsec.wa.gov.
