BLM to hold public meeting on Shiprock Solar proposal in Farmington

The Bureau of Land Management will hold an informational pre-application virtual workshop for the Shiprock Solar Project from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday.

The proposed project area encompasses 1,980 acres of BLM-administered public lands and 555 acres of private lands that are located about 4 miles north of Waterflow, New Mexico, near the Public Service Co. of New Mexico operated San Juan Generating Station.

The proposed project would produce about 372 megawatts of electricity. It would connect to the existing Western Area Power Administration Substation via a nearly 1,400-foot 345kV transmission line or 2,600 feet to PNM’s San Juan 345kV station as the second option. Both substations connect the solar facility to regional electrical system grids.

After completing the registration, an email will be sent to participants providing meeting details.
