Perry County planning staff flagged Sunnova bankruptcy filing tied to solar reviews
Summary
Planning staff told the Perry County Planning Commission it received a bankruptcy filing from Sunnova listing the county among many potential creditors; staff offered commissioners the full documents for review.
Planning staff told the Perry County Planning Commission on June 18 that Sunnova, a solar installer, has filed for bankruptcy and the county office received a copy of the filing.
Jason (planning staff) told commissioners the filing lists a long set of contacts and that Perry County Planning Commission (PCPC) appears on the list as a potential creditor because the county previously collected review fees for solar projects. He said hard copies are available in the office for any commissioner who wants to review them.
The staff update noted the Sunnova filing may relate to a previously reviewed solar project in the western part of the county and to other commercial installers reportedly in similar financial difficulty. Commissioners discussed verifying whether any outstanding county fees remain unpaid and the likely effect on system owners versus the installer. Commissioner Dave Rice noted that owners will still need to address warranty and maintenance issues if the installer goes bankrupt.
The item was presented as a communications update; no formal action or direction was recorded. Staff said it would verify any outstanding fees and share documents with commissioners who request them.
Commissioners and staff also mentioned Liverpool Township’s adoption of a zoning change on Route 17 and a concurrent resolution updating that township’s future land-use map; that item was noted as received by staff as a late communication.
