Xcel Energy confirmed Friday, Oct. 10, that it is withdrawing the proposed Oneida 2 solar project from regulatory proceedings in Texas and New Mexico, announcing it will not move forward with construction in Amarillo’s Rolling Hills neighborhood following community opposition.

Potter County Commissioner John Coffee said he met with a representative from Xcel Energy on Friday morning and was informed of the company’s decision to withdraw the project.

“This is truly great news for our community,” Coffee said. “I want to commend the leadership at Xcel and SPS for taking the time to listen, engage, and respond to the concerns of our residents. Their willingness to hear the community’s voice speaks volumes about their commitment to being a responsible partner in Potter County.”
