BrightNight says Dutchman Solar construction delayed to mid‑2027; county hears engagement plans
Summary
BrightNight Power told the Converse County commissioners construction of the Dutchman Solar project is expected to begin mid‑2027 with about an 18‑month build; the developer also described planned public engagement and clarified project scope.
Donald Millar, Senior Director of Development at BrightNight Power, updated the Board of Commissioners that the Dutchman Solar project's construction start date has slipped to mid‑2027 and the company now estimates an approximately 18‑month construction period. Millar described planned public engagement and community involvement and clarified elements of the project scope. The update notes the commencement timeline moved roughly three quarters later than previously anticipated.
No formal county action was recorded during the update; commissioners and staff received the timeline and asked for continued public engagement as the project advances toward permitting and construction.
