The state Office of Renewable Energy Siting has rejected the controversial Shepherd’s Run solar project application about a month after a group of farmers bought a key portion of land slated for development. The decision handed down by ORES Executive Director Houtan Moaveni on Tuesday comes after a series of recent twists in the project’s approval process. It reverses an earlier decision by a judge to deny Copake’s motion to dismiss Hecate Energy’s proposal, which the town filed the same day that Craryville Farms LLC purchased 60 acres planned for the solar array. The next day, Jan. 5, lawyers for Copake filed a request for appeal, which was granted and prompted ORES to abruptly postpone the public hearings pending a ruling on the appeal.
