URBANA, Ill. (WAND) - There will soon be more options to save on power in Urbana.

Urbana City Council approved a special use permit Monday night for Total Energies.

The company is looking to build a solar farm on a closed landfill currently owned by the City.

The project will be located on North Smith Road, after Total Energies had already completed another project at the site.

This second solar farm will be a market-rate community solar array, meaning that residents in Ameren's territory can subscribe to be part of the program.
