A final decision concerning a tax abatement proposal between Bastrop County and international renewable energy company RWE Renewables for a planned solar project won’t come until the new year after the Bastrop County Commissioners Court on Monday tabled the proposal.
The decision to table a possible tax abatement for RWE, which is proposing to build a $190 million solar project near Rosanky, until the next Commissioners Court meeting on Jan. 11 was a near formality for the court.
A tax abatement agreement for the county to review still hasn t been finalized with RWE, despite months of negotiations.
Since a final version of the proposed abatement doesn’t exist, Bastrop County Judge Paul Pape said from the start of Monday’s meeting the court didn’t intend to vote on the matter and would be tabling it.
