Residents of San Francisco are used to living in a compact space, but will they like shopping in a compact Target, too?

Swinerton Renewable Energy Chimes in on Sunshine Electricity in Lakeview Oregon
Work is nearly done on a project that puts Southern Oregon, especially southeast Oregon on the state map for renewable energy. A big solar power generation facility on the outskirts of Lakeview is the largest solar farm in Oregon so far.
There’s really nothing like it until now in Southern Oregon: 20 acres of solar panels – 11,000 panels to be exact. All together they are designed to generate about two megawatts of electricity just from the sun, and you can hardly even tell it’s on the southwest side of Lakeview.

Spotlight Shines on Oregon's Largest Solar Project
Oregon’s largest solar project is moving toward completion in Lakeview.
Lake County and Lakeview officials were given a preview of the side-by-side Black Cap and Lakeview solar projects located on a 21-acre site just south of Lakeview. When completed and on-line in September, the nearly 11,000, 3-1/2- by 6-foot panels will generate about 2.5 megawatts of electricity, or enough for about 450 residential customers.
George Hershman, vice president for Swinerton Renewable Energy, the contractor building the project for Obsidian Renewables, said when plans to build the solar project began, the Lakeview site was one of the nation’s largest. As solar has become more viable, the combined Lakeview projects will be relatively small-scale. Obsidian also is building a 5 megawatt solar project near Christmas Valley in northern Lake County while various Southern California projects will dwarf the two Lake County projects.
