Ottawa County hasn't cashed $50,000 intervenor check from RWE

The Ottawa County Board will decide whether to intervene in a large-scale solar application before the Michigan Public Service Commission during a meeting Oct. 27. Officials discussed Silver Maple Solar — a 200-megawatt, 1,914-acre solar development on agricultural-zoned land south of I-196 near the Ottawa Executive Airport — during a work session Oct. 16. Global energy company RWE is seeking approval through the MPSC , bypassing local deciding bodies in Jamestown and Zeeland Townships under Public Act 233 — a relatively new state statute that allows applicants behind certain utility-scale solar, wind and battery energy storage projects to seek approval directly from the state. The company's application, originally filed April 3, was withdrawn and re-filed Sept. 18 after a decision from the Michigan Court of Appeals in May broadened the definition of an "Affected Local Unit." The earlier definition included only Jamestown and Zeeland Townships. The new definition includes Ottawa County. More: RWE officially withdraws, refiles application for Silver Maple Solar Under PA 233, RWE is required to send intervenor funds to ALUs. Ottawa County has received a check for $50,000, according to County Administrator Patrick Waterman, but it remains uncashed. During the work session Oct. 16, commissioners discussed what
