Solar farm applies for permit The Kansan The location of a proposed solar farm announced in November that will be constructed by the newly formed Kansas Cooperative Sun Power Program in Harvey County was revealed Tuesday. The Butler County Electric Cooperative applied for permits and zoning for the construction of a solar facility at the southwest corner of East Lake Road and First Street in rural Harvey County. The farm is one of about two dozen that are scheduled to be constructed by a group of electric cooperatives across the state. The Kansas Cooperative Sun Power Program is a series of solar farms developed by Today's Power Inc. of Arkansas to harvest renewable energy in the state for 12 participating electric cooperatives. The 25-year program will result in the construction of more than 20 megawatts of solar power spread out across more than 800 miles of Kansas.
