Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of October 30, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Vines Rest Data Center (BPA L0704) in Alderdale (vicinity), Klickitat County, Washington appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

A new status, a permit, a reception finding, or a lawsuit. Nothing else, ever.

Notes on the record

The queue record places the site east of Alderdale, bounded by Columbia Ridge Road, Sonova Road and Highway 14, on land owned by Columbia Ridge Orchards LLC. It would interconnect on the McNary-John Day No. 1 and No. 2 500 kV lines. A Savion spokesperson said 'there is currently no defined Vines Rest project.' A queue position is not an approval. Coordinates are the Alderdale locality point.
