As we start 2022, let us take a moment to look back at some of the images from the past year.  

The approved solar farm near Redmond will have a capacity of nearly 10 megawatts.

From Portland Business Journal: 

That project will consist of solar panels on 96 acres. The 10-megawatt project could provide enough power to energize around 1,500 homes annually. It follows plans for a 20-megawatt installation east of Bend.

Those and similarly sized solar projects around the state were boosted in March. After legislation passed to increase the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard to 50 percent — doubling the renewable energy in Oregon's electric supply — another bill incentivizing small utility-scale solar projects was approved to help encourage such energy development in Oregon.

Environmental groups and health care advocates pitched a bill to the Oregon Senate that would prohibit BPA in children's drink containers.

The Aloha Business Association is relaunching after a 12-year hiatus, hoping to revitalize an often-overlooked area.

Laura Weiss is launching a business to help deal with all the excess waste generated by Portland's beloved food carts, called GO Box.
