Coyote Creek Advances Development
Following County Approval
We commend the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors for their bold leadership in unanimously approving the Coyote Creek Agrivoltaic Ranch last November. The project is well positioned to permanently preserve extensive oak woodlands and wetland resources at Barton Ranch, generate meaningful property tax revenue, support local economic development, and advance the goals of the County’s Climate Action Plan. Coyote Creek has been in development for many years, and throughout that time our team has engaged meaningfully with the community to build lasting partnerships.
DESRI values the long-standing partnership we have built with SMUD and our proven track record of successfully developing, constructing, owning, and operating projects throughout the region. We look forward to continued advancement of development of this unanimously approved project. We remain committed to delivering high-quality projects that support Sacramento County and California’s renewable energy goals and mandates.
