The record, newest first
The county commission approved the conditional use permit 4-1 after the township and planning commission recommended it; the company said its cooling would be quieter than the Atlas Power site. (KFYR-TV, Feb. 4, 2025)
On appeal, commissioners voted 4-0 to let Enerfore pursue a conditional use permit, with a sound study and public comment required, despite letters urging denial. (KFYR-TV, Oct. 1, 2024; SDxCentral, Oct. 4, 2024)
Enerfore's first application for the Dry Fork site was denied because it was less than a mile from three homes. (KFYR-TV, Oct. 1, 2024)
Conflicts and open questions
- Under 50 MW; kept because it is permitted and adjoins Project Trinity.
- Coordinates approximate, placed about 8 miles south of Tioga as reported.
- Size (20,000 sq ft on 10 acres) is from county documents as reported by SDxCentral.
- Whether the site was built and energized was not confirmed in a record opened; the company hoped to operate by the end of 2025.
- The company's legal entity name was not confirmed in a source opened.
