who answered the telephone at VLCIA just now when I called to inquire.

Where is that? Well, here’s where the Mud Creek plant is.

1626 New Statenville Highway

Commissioning ceremony cancelled for Wiregrass Solar plant



Yesterday I heard that the commissioning ceremony for the Wiregrass Solar
plant was cancelled by VLCIA due to impending weather.
Perhaps you didn’t know it was scheduled; I didn’t.
Back at the March VLCIA board meeting,

they said they would discuss that “later”.

So I called Col. Ricketts this morning to see if it was back on for today,
considering that the weather had already passed by.
He said no, they had cancelled it, not wanting to chance having people
in a tent in bad weather.
He also said the press release had gone out yesterday.

I asked him to let me know when it was rescheduled,
reminding him that LAKE likes to take videos of VLCIA events,
and we like the Wiregrass Solar plant, so it would be a bit
of free publicity for them.
He said he would, and he expected it to be probably
within the next couple of weeks.
I asked him to send LAKE a copy of the new press release when it was
sent out.
He said he would.

We’ll be happy to post such a press release.
