Fiction #9: “TSR will reap significant tax breaks and incentives.”

Fact: TSR is estimating the total cost of this project to be around $300-350 million. This is all money financed and paid for by Teanaway Solar Reserve and its investors. We will be benefiting from an incentive available to all Washington businesses and citizens, a sales tax break on solar projects. RCW 82.08.963  RCW 82.08.962  There is also extra incentive to use Washington made parts and equipment. This applies to machinery and equipment and is a substantial incentive as the testament to the importance of solar power in Washington State. This project is about producing a sustainable (financially and environmentally), utility-scale solar project in the Northwest that will produce clean energy and serve as an example for the future. Additionally, this project will bring in much more revenue for the county to pay for hospitals, roads, schools, and fire management. The construction and permanent jobs will benefit the local community with new, renewable energy positions that can be applied to other projects.
