Inspectors find county generator too small for SCER building; officials will seek utility programs
Summary
County volunteers and contractors inspected a generator at the county garage and were advised it is too small for the SCER building. Lowe's price estimates for suitable units ranged roughly $7,229–$7,639 with installation estimates around $4,576; Ryan Everman and Tom Moore will contact Duke to inquire about programs before further action.
Ryan Everman and Tom Moore reported to the board that a generator currently stored at the county garage was inspected and judged too small to reliably power the SCER building.
An electrician who reviewed the equipment advised that relocating or relying on the existing generator would be impractical. Lowe's price listings cited roughly $7,229 for a 22,000-watt model and $7,639 for a 24,000-watt model; a separate installation estimate of $4,576 was mentioned in the meeting record. Everman and Moore said they will contact Duke to ask whether the utility has any programs or support before the county pursues a purchase or relocation.
No purchase or transfer decision was made at the meeting; the discussion concluded with a plan for follow-up inquiries.
