Baker City’s first 2 solar farms near completion
By SAMANTHA
O’CONNER
EO Media Group
BAKER CITY — Con-
struction is nearing comple-
tion on Baker County’s first
two solar power farms, the
larger of which is near Sut-
ton Creek Road about 6 miles
southeast of Baker City.
That array of about 50,000
panels is roughly 1 mile east
of the landfill and about sev-
en-tenths of a mile south of
Interstate 84.
Enerparc Solar Projects
LLC of Oakland, California,
is building that solar farm
as well as a second project
near Unity, in southern Baker
County.
Construction
manager
Douglas Stevens said work
on the Sutton Creek project
started Aug. 30, and com-
pany officials expect the farm
to be online around Dec. 15.
“This one is fast-paced,”
Stevens said.
Currently, workers are
driving in piles — the metal
bars that will hold the solar
panels. The piles have to be
driven a minimum of 6 feet
into the ground.
Stevens said he hopes
to have the 50,000 panels
installed within two weeks.
EO Media Group Photo/S. John Collins
Workers install frames that will hold solar panels near Sutton Creek Road about 6 miles
southeast of Baker City.
The panels are on motorized
tracks that shift the panels as
the sun moves to maximize
power production.
The Sutton Creek proj-
ect will cost an estimated
$2.65 million, according
to a permit issued by the
Baker City-County Building
Department.
The company paid almost
$27,000 in permit fees.
The solar array will pro-
duce 15 megawatts of power.
That’s enough to power
approximately 3,000 homes.
The Unity project, which
should be finished soon and
go online in mid-Novem-
ber, will produce about 2.75
megawatts from an array
covering about 23 acres.
Stevens said about 35 peo-
ple are working on the Sutton
Creek solar farm, including
employees from contractor
Vale Electric Inc.
Crews are also finishing
a substation near Interstate
84 that will connect the solar
farm to Idaho Power Compa-
ny’s transmission line.
Work on the substation
started in early July, accord-
ing to Idaho Power, which is
building the substation.
Both the solar farm and
the substation are on property
owned by Hat Brand Land &
Livestock LLC of Baker City.
Brent Gyllenberg is Hat
Brand’s manager.
Enerparc applied in March
for a permit to divide Hat
Brand’s parcel into two parts.
The one where the solar pan-
els are being installed is 549.6
acres, and the site for the sub-
station, between I-84 and Old
Highway 30, is slightly larger
than one-half acre.
