Developer says Bright Mountain Solar Project nearing approvals, targets mobilization later this fall
Summary
AbuGrid Renewables' representative told the Perry County fiscal court the Bright Mountain Solar Project is advancing toward final internal approvals, has solicited high-voltage bidders and is targeting mobilization later this fall; a local project representative was introduced.
PERRY COUNTY — Jeff Frank Meyer, identified in the meeting as owner of the Bright Mountain Solar Project and representing AbuGrid Renewables, told the Perry County fiscal court that the project is advancing toward final internal approvals and should mobilize later this fall if timelines hold.
Meyer told the court his team has released requests for bidders on high-voltage work and expects some of the first on-site activity to involve the high-voltage system. He said Leah Roll will serve as a local project representative and will be more present in the community during construction than he will be.
Meyer described the company’s intent to become a “permanent member of the communities,” said bids have been solicited in recent weeks, and reaffirmed that the developer is looking forward to beginning work, subject to final approvals.
The remarks were delivered during the audience portion of a routine Perry County meeting and were informational; no formal action on the project was taken at the session. The court adjourned after the update.
