RIPLEY — Residents of the town of Ripley had the opportunity to have many of their questions regarding the proposed South Ripley Solar and Storage Project answered at a virtual informational meeting held last week.
According to representatives from ConnectGen, the public meeting was held to “provide information to stakeholders, understand stakeholder interests, identify any additional stakeholders potentially affected by the South Ripley Solar & Storage Project, and solicit information from stakeholders during public outreach events.”
The webinar featured a host of experts who are involved with the project. The first part of the presentation covered several areas that will be part of the 94C application. 94C overhauls the state’s large-scale renewable siting process, replacing Article 10, which required solar projects to undergo a rigorous state permitting process.
