Turning Point Energy, LLC is Looking at Two Locations in Yorkville to Construct Solar Farms

Turning Point Energy, LLC is looking at two locations in Yorkville to construct solar farms. One location is a 54-acre parcel off Cannonball Trail north of BNFS Rail, and the second is a 42-acre parcel off Cannonball Trail south of Galena Road. Turning Point Energy is requesting rezoning, special use authorization, ordinance variance approval, and an amendment to an annexation agreement. Currently, both locations are used as farmland. The parcels are part of the Bristol Ridge Planned Unit Development that was established as a residential area, zoned R-1 and R-2. A representative from Turning Point Energy was at the Tuesday, May 2, 2023, Economic Development Committee meeting to address any questions or concerns the city may have.
