SMUD's plan for 500,000 Sacramento County solar panels is taking heat from environmentalists
Briefly

The Coyote Creek Agrovoltaic Ranch, a crucial solar project for SMUD, faces criticism for potential irreparable harm to its fragile ecosystem and wildlife.
Kim Delfino of Defenders of Wildlife expressed concern over the location of the project, emphasizing the need to balance renewable energy development with ecosystem protection.
D.E. Shaw Renewable Investments claims they have gone above regulatory requirements to minimize environmental impact during the development of the Coyote Creek project.
SMUD aims to achieve zero-carbon power by 2030, with the Coyote Creek project integral to this mission, set to be operational by 2027.
