Background

The project, which lacks a formal name, was proposed by Norma Brandenburg, who requested a Special Use Authorization from Cochise County to construct the facility in a residentially zoned area in April 2022. According to the Herald-Review:

"The project will be completed in three phases, explained Robert Kirschmann, Planner II. The first phase will include building two 400-square-foot sheds and installing seven solar arrays with 20 solar panels. Phase 2, to be done in 2022, will include three 400-square-foot sheds and 28 solar arrays with 560 solar panels. Phase 3, planned in 2023 to 2024, will include a 12,000-square-foot building, a parking lot and an additional 2,380 solar panels. The solar arrays will provide power to the operation and will not be sold commercially, according to Brandenburg."

The status of the project is unclear as of July 2022. Based on the number of solar panels proposed, the facility would likely be between 3.5 and 5 MW.
