Summary

Pender County just shut down a massive 2,360-acre solar farm project after a state appeals court sided with the county, ruling the solar company couldn’t prove it had the necessary power infrastructure to handle the energy output. The decision, handed down June 17, upheld the county’s unanimous July vote to deny the permit, emphasizing that big projects need solid infrastructure before they’re approved. Coastal Pine Solar’s hopes for a green light in Burgaw, Columbia, and Union townships are now officially dashed. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
