Discovery Solar Approved in Kern County

Kern County just approved a colossal solar and storage project called Discovery Solar, set to cover over 7,000 acres near Mojave and generate 1,400 megawatts of clean energy—enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes.

Supporters, including the Greater Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce, hail it as a major economic boost and a vital step toward California’s clean energy goals. Terra-Gen, the developer, plans to begin construction within a few years after finalizing permits. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
