Jeff Frank Meyer of AbuGrid Renewables told Perry County officials the Bright Mountain Solar Project is advancing toward final internal approvals, high-voltage bidding has taken place, and mobilization is targeted for later this fall; he introduced Leah Roll as a local project lead who will start in about eight months.
Jeff Frank Meyer, identifying himself as the owner of AbuGrid Renewables and the Bright Mountain Solar Project representative, gave a project update to Perry County officials during the meeting.
Meyer said the project team is "advancing towards our final internal approvals on the project," that potential bidders had recently visited the high-voltage work site at the Hamilton plant, and that the team is targeting mobilization later this fall. He described early mobilization work including high-voltage system preparations as among the first activities once approvals are complete.
Meyer said Leah Roll will join the project in about eight months and will be more locally based than he will be during construction. He thanked local leaders for partnering with the project and said AbuGrid looks forward to becoming a permanent member of the communities involved.
