Why
Levy
Planning for Origis’ proposed Whistling Duck Solar Project starts with distinct respect for Levy County. Whether it is respecting and avoiding Levy’s abundant natural resources or listening and addressing community feedback, we have made every effort to ensure this project is an ideal fit for the community.
We take into consideration the area’s solar resources and potential environmental impacts, knowing we must find landowners who choose to sell or lease their land for the life of the project.
Through careful planning and site engineering SOLAR FACILITIES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS.
1
Solar Resources
In Florida, 237 days of sunshine each year provides a powerful source of sunlight for solar farms throughout the state to diversify energy options, increase the reliability of the energy grid, and lower overall energy costs.
2
Demand
In Florida, solar development is fueled by the state goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050.
3
Energy Infrastructure
The project features access to a nearby substation, which lowers the cost of the energy produced by the facility and allows the project to serve customers throughout the region.
4
Environmental Evaluation
During the siting of a project, careful consideration is given to all environmental resources like wetlands, protected species, and habitat.
5
Cultural Evaluation
Culturally sensitive areas or places of historic significance are identified through research and community engagement and are carefully considered in the siting process.
6
Property Owners
Talk with local landowners to identify individuals interested in leasing their property.
