Rankin officials say Ameren issue delays solar project; district plans June 5 power outage for fix
Summary
District administrator Dr. Matt Gordon told the board May 4 that Ameren identified an unanticipated issue delaying the district's solar project; the district will shut off power for a full day on June 5 to complete Ameren's required fix and has so far incurred only minor legal fees.
Dr. Matt Gordon reported that the district's solar power project has encountered delays stemming from an issue Ameren identified after initial plan approval. He said the district has not incurred installation expenses beyond minor legal fees to date but warned that Ameren requires a daylong power shutdown to perform a fix.
Gordon told the board that "the power will need to be shut off for the entire day on June 5th" to complete Ameren's required work and that he could not confirm whether the panels would be able to be turned on immediately after that date. He said he will keep the board updated on timing and any expenses that arise.
