Colorado judge blocks solar developer from using shared private easement
A Colorado judge has intervened in a legal dispute over the use of a shared private easement, restricting a solar developer's rights. The case, reported by The Business Times, involves a conflict between James Sterling's property and Pivot Energy's solar development. Pivot Energy seeks to install power lines within the easement to serve a separate solar project, but the court ruled that the easement does not extend to this new project.
The judge, JenniLynn E. Lawrence, prohibited the defendants from using the easement for this purpose, allowing Sterling's property access to remain unaffected. The dispute also includes concerns about trespassing, road safety, and the legality of the easement's use. The lawsuit, filed by several neighbors, is expected to continue through a trial scheduled for September 27, 2027.
