Council hears update on two local energy projects; Invenergy schedules public meeting April 28
Summary
Council members said the Blue Crab solar project is paused due to increased PJM interconnection costs, and Invenergy plans a 50 MW battery storage facility at Richfield Farm and will hold a public meeting on April 28 in Hurlock to solicit community input.
During council comments, Councilman Mike Detmer said the Blue Crab solar project has been paused because interconnection costs with PJM increased, affecting project economics and timing.
Council President George L. Pfeffer, Jr. said he met with Invenergy, which is proposing a 50-megawatt battery storage facility at Richfield Farm. Pfeffer said the meeting he attended did not meet permitting attendance requirements and noted that Invenergy will host another public meeting at 5:00 p.m. on April 28 at the Hurlock Volunteer Fire Department to take public comment.
Council members offered no formal action on the projects at the meeting; the comments served as public updates and a notice of the upcoming community meeting for the Invenergy proposal.
