A San Francisco, California-based company has applied for a conditional-use permit to allow a solar farm on a nearly 25-acre site at 3436 South Walden Road in an agricultural district.
The matter is on Monday’s agenda for the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission meeting.
The proposed ground-mounted solar arrays — 11,832 of them — would have a maximum height of 16.5 feet, according to the applicant, Gardner Capital Solar Development, doing business as Walden Road Solar LLC. Gardner Capital was founded in 2014.
“The project will provide power to Georgia Power and produce enough energy to power roughly 500 homes,” according to a statement from Gardner Capital.
The solar farm would not require any employees or the construction of any buildings, and maintenance at the site would be done a couple of times a years, according to the commission’s staff report. The lifespan of the arrays is 35 to 45 years.
