Build, Repeat. (A Paces Podcast)
From Solar Farms to Sheep Farms with Ryan Kelliher & ASGA - E124
Show Notes

We speak with Ryan Kelliher, VP of Renewable Solutions at Tradition Energy and Executive Director of the American Solar Grazing Association (ASGA). We discuss why:

  • Solar grazing is beneficial for farmers and rural communities
  • Sheep grazing is helpful for the permitting of solar projects, as it aligns incentives for the developer and the farmer and reduces community opposition.
  • The lack of sheep in the US is a challenge for solar grazing, but the potential opportunity for farmers is significant.
  • it is important of building emotional relationships with the local community to reduce community opposition to solar projects.
  • And much more!
