About
Coggon Solar is proposing a 100 MW solar project in north Linn County, Iowa. The
project will be non-permanent, and fully removed and remediated after 35 years.
Its undergrowth will be planted as “native prairie,” providing habitat for wildlife
and pollinators.
Coggon Solar will generate reliable, affordable, and clean electricity for CIPCO’s
members for 20 years, serving nearly 20,000 local customers, including those in
Linn REC.
The project will decarbonize CIPCO’s energy supply and replace a portion of the
retiring Duane Arnold Energy Center.
Coggon Solar would be constructed on private land adjacent to the existing CIPCO
Coggon Substation. By utilizing the available capacity at this location, Coggon
Solar will provide long-term affordable power to CIPCO’s members.
