The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has temporarily set aside just under 5,160 acres of public land associated with the Star Range solar project in Utah.
The move, announced Nov. 29, means the land will be withdrawn from public land laws for two years while the BLM reviews potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. The withdrawal from laws includes the Mining Law but excludes the Mineral Leasing Act.
Located near Milford in Beaver County, Utah, the project proposed for development by Hanwha Energy Corp.’s 174 Power Global could generate an estimated 600 megawatts (MW) of solar electricity.
Part of the site is on approximately 4,288 acres of BLM-administered public land, which is undeveloped and relatively flat terrain, according to the BLM. The project, which will be built in two 300-MW phases, will tie into the adjacent Sigurd to Red Butte 345 kV transmission line.
