Former Lt. Gov. Bill Halter is walking on sunbeams this spring, skipping from one public solar power project to another as CEO of Scenic Hill Solar of North Little Rock.
Tuesday morning found him at the Little Rock Audubon Center, cutting the ribbon on a Scenic Hill 35-kilowatt array that made the conservation organization’s 4500 Springer Blvd. headquarters the first 100% renewable energy-powered nonprofit in the state.
On Wednesday morning, he’s scheduled to speak at the groundbreaking of a far larger project, Central Arkansas Water’s 4.8-megawatt sun power station covering 30 acres in Cabot. CAW, the state’s largest water utility, bought the land two years ago in anticipation of the project.
