Amendment to Renewable Energy Approval for the Brockville Solar Project

The Renewable Energy Approval for the Brockville Solar Project has been amended. This is a technical change to allow the construction of shallow detention basins and berms to address historical flooding concerns downstream of the site.

The ministry has also removed spent conditions from the approval that are no longer applicable or updated them as appropriate.

The ministry has reviewed the Stormwater Management report completed for the amendment.

No new environmental effects are expected beyond those that were previously identified, documented and consulted on through the Renewable Energy Approval process.

This Class 3 solar facility is located along County Road 27 / Centennial Road at parts 1-4, Reference Plan 28R-7817, Lot 19, Concession 2, in the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley, United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.
