Dunlieh Energy has announced it is moving forward with their plan to seek approval of a conditional use permit for construction of a solar energy generation facility in southwestern Scotts Bluff County.

In a notice submitted to news media, nearby landowners and interested parties, Dunlieh officials say a community outreach and request for comment meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 21 from 5:30 – 7:30pm at the Legacy of the Plains Museum in Gering.

The Situla Solar Energy Project would generate approximately 400 megawatts of electricity, with infrastructure including solar panels, a Battery Energy Storage System, substation, inverters, a storage facility, and an interconnect to an existing transmission line.

Construction would take place on 18 parcels of land in the same location as a previous application that was rejected by the county board, with construction anticipated to start in the 3rd quarter of 2027.
