A Fort Gratiot solar project wants in on a lawsuit over St. Clair County’s new solar rules. Portside Solar, which plans a 900-acre farm approved by the township, asked the county court last weel to join DTE Energy’s case challenging the May regulations. The rules limit noise, visibility, and require decommissioning plans. Portside says it’s affected differently than DTE, noting its near-construction project and independent status. The company claims the rules are vague and could force extra approvals. A court hearing is set for next Wednesday.
