Solar abatement request put on hold


AUBURN — As the county commissioners continue to work on a solar ordinance, the DeKalb County Council took a request for an abatement from Auburn Renewables under advisement until September.
Rudi Eidam, agent for the Sweitzer Family office that is listed as the applicant for Auburn Renewables project, was on hand at Monday’s council meeting to answer questions on the project.
Council President Rick Ring said abatements for solar fields are becoming common in counties with solar farm projects. He said it would probably be appropriate to offer an economic development agreement with Auburn Renewables.
“Similar things are being done in Randolph and White counties,” he said. “We need to pause for 30 days, to look at other economic development agreements in other counties. We need to take a moment and look at this to make sure we are doing it fairly for other projects that are coming.” ....

County leaders line up against wind-solar bill


Nearly 60 Indiana counties — including DeKalb and LaGrange — reportedly have passed resolutions or written letters in opposition to House Bill 1381.
The bill effectively would remove local control of commercial wind and solar energy projects. It would establish state standards for setback, height and other specifications and prohibit local governments from setting stricter standards.
House Bill 1381 passed in the House of Representatives by a 58-38 vote. All three local House members opposed it, including Rep. Ben Smaltz, R-Auburn; Rep. Denny Zent, R-Angola; and Rep. David Abbott, R-Rome City.
The bill now is being considered in the Indiana Senate, where local Sens. Sue Glick, R-LaGrange, and Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn, have pledged to oppose it. ....
