Franklin County could be getting a significant jolt of local solar energy â that is if plans presented by local energy advocates Andy McDonald and Walt Baldwin are adopted. The ambitious 39-page plan proposes that the City of Frankfort, Franklin County Fiscal Court, Frankfort Independent Schools, and Franklin County Schools come together to cooperate on a 20 megawatt (MW), 150-acre solar project. The planâs implementation would be contingent on the Frankfort Plant Boardâs approval. The proposed facility would be funded by a private developer with no cost to the local government entities; McDonald and Baldwin estimated that the project would save the organizations a collective $1.2 million annually but cost FPB $800,000 in revenue reductions.
