The City of Enid’s decision to move forward with the Skeleton Creek Solar Farm has led to residents speaking out against the movement.

The residents of Enid voiced displeasure with the project since the majority of the public commentators claim that the farm will be volatile.

One resident, Teresa Gaynor, spoke against the solar project.

“Me and my husband…live in the zone,” Gaynor said. “I will live right next to the solar field…We mind our own business and we spread others people’s privacy but now there’s a dark cloud that sets in the air there is no rest.

The Solar Farm proposed will supply Garfield County with 250 megawatts of solar energy and 252 megawatts of battery storage. The project will encompass about 2,500 acres and is scheduled to begin at the end of 2025.
