Brief Project Description: The Wild Turkey Solar Project (Project) is a proposed 5-megawatt solar photovoltaic facility located on a parcel in the Southwest Quarter of Section 35, Township 102 North, Range 6 West, Town of Caledonia, Houston County, Minnesota that has been previously disturbed for agriculture activities. The current site is a flat, open field that would require minimal grading. The disturbance of land would be limited to the approximately 36-acre Project area during construction.

The project would be a 5 MW hydroelectric facility located on Grant Creek and Grant Lake, near the community of Moose Pass, Alaska, in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, about 25 miles north of Seward, Alaska.

The Project is a proposed 2.5-megawatt solar facility on a 20-acre previously disturbed area. The Project is located in Ringe, Olmsted County, Minnesota.
