Second reading approved for rezoning portion of John Black Road property
Cumberland municipal council has approved second reading of an application to rezone a portion of a John Black Road property from Country Residential to Rural Resource.
The property, located in East Amherst, is 250 acres and contains a mixture of land uses, including residential, agricultural and commercial recreation (golf course).
The portion of the subject property considered for rezoning is currently largely wooded, with two wind turbines.
Natural Forces Solar, with permission of the current property owner, are looking to establish a solar project, which will provide clean energy for up to 700 homes, spanning from East Amherst to Tidnish.
The proposed project would have the capacity of 5.25 MWAC.
Natural Forces Solar has identified this parcel as an ideal location for the proposed project, due to a wind turbine already being located on the subject property. Co-locating the proposed solar project with the existing wind project allows for the sharing of infrastructure. Furthermore, co-locating is beneficial for the electrical grid, as the projects produce power at different times, providing more reliability to the power grid.
The applicant hopes to begin construction in late spring, finishing construction before the end of 2026.
