Winston Energy Project PUD Amendment (PLZ-2026-061)

Description

Winston Solar wanted to shrink its western setback along Highway 95A from 1,980 feet to 1,320 feet, shifting about 105 acres of solar panels closer to the highway to free up roughly 82 acres for an easement serving the Monarch Data Center's transmission line.

Impact summary

Solar arrays will sit a quarter mile from Highway 95A behind a 30-foot landscape buffer, and Monarch's power lines and access road would run through the eastern easement instead of along Penrose Lane.
