Solar Ashland was BEF's first renewable energy project, its first community solar project, and at the time it began operating, the largest solar power plant in the Pacific Northwest. The project was a collaborative effort by the City of Ashland, BEF, BPA, the State of Oregon, and Avista Energy, along with the citizens of Ashland who subscribed to the project, and two local solar hosts: Southern Oregon University and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
