The array being built by Arlington, Virginia-based Energix Renewables rests on farmland about 3 miles from Gettysburg.
Kenney originally announced the effort in 2018, with a goal of supplying energy by 2020 or 2021 as part of a climate change strategy. The plan was part of the city’s goal to power 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
The project has had a few setbacks. Development began under Adams Solar LLC, originally formed by Community Energy of Radnor, which planned to hire businesses owned by people of color, women, and those with disabilities as subcontractors. The plan called for Community Energy to then turn around and sell the project to an owner/operator.
Katie Hernandez, a spokeswoman for Energix, said plans call for 230,000 panels to be installed, with about 80,000 in so far. About 50% of the entire project is complete, she said. She said almost all other necessary equipment, such as the racks that support the panels and electrical cables, are mostly installed or should be installed within the next few months. Energix also had to close deals on roughly 25 properties spanning 1,200 acres and acquire local and state permits.
