Environmental Review

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

EFSC Siting Process Overview - The Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) administers the EFSC siting process which consolidates state agency and local government regulations into a single review process. Before a large energy facility is built in Oregon, a developer must apply and receive a site certificate from EFSC. Obsidian’s Solar Center at Fort Rock is subject to the council’s jurisdiction.

More information on the Oregon EFSC process is available here on the ODOE website.
 
Obsidian filed a Notice of Intent to apply for a Site Certificate with ODOE on January 16, 2018, and a Preliminary Application for Site Certificate (pASC) on September 20, 2018. On September 16, 2019, the Department deemed the application complete and on October 17, 2019, Obsidian filed the application for site certificate (ASC) with ODOE, the ASC is available here.  ODOE issued the Proposed Order on October 9, 2020, and it is available here.
