During the January 10, 2024, regular council meeting, the Town of Estill Mayor and Town Council voted and approved the final reading for the Lease Agreement to SC Solar Energy Inc. to build a 20-megawatt solar farm in the Town of Estill. The investment will increase the Town's revenue by approximately $132,000.00 a year and initially bring 20 jobs and, at completion, five jobs to the Town of Estill. The Solar and Meter projects are roughly $60,000,000.00 investments in the Town of Estill. This effort was a part of "Project Green Spark," which included four revenue-generating projects for the Town: Upgraded water meters to replace outdated water meters, a hydroponic facility, a workforce housing community, and a solar farm.
The Town has started the installation of upgraded water meters and will now begin partnering with SC Solar Energy Inc. for a new solar farm. In the meeting held on January 10, 2024, SC Solar Energy CEO William Wilson attended the meeting to answer questions from the town council. Wilson stated, "I want to provide job opportunities and renewable energy to small communities like the Town of Estill while decreasing the carbon footprint of emissions." This project is one of many future projects for which SC Solar Energy Inc. will invest in funding for a clean energy initiative that includes energy-efficient lighting, charging stations, solar panel installation, battery generation, and much more.
