Happy Holidays from the Coldwater Solar Team! As the year draws to a close, we’re filled with gratitude for your patience and support through the construction process. We’re excited to share the latest updates as we continue making steady progress on Coldwater Solar.
Construction Progress Update
Here are some highlights of our recent progress:
Fence Installation: Fence posts and fabric installation have been installed across the site, improving site security and organization. Roughly 75% of the fencing has been installed thus far.
Substation Work: Foundation work is progressing, including the excavation of the substation pad and initial concrete pours.
Array Seeding and Soil Stabilization:
Our team has completed the installation of erosion prevention measures such as silt fencing and detention basins. Following grading efforts, we have planted both temporary cover crops (outside fence) and permanent array seed mixes throughout the entire site. Areas disturbed during construction will be re-seeded during site restoration activities once construction is completed.
Underground Cabling: Installation of DC cables in multiple sections is underway, ensuring efficient energy flow across the site.
Access Roads: Nearly all access roads have been installed providing safe and reliable access for equipment and personnel.
Upcoming Activities
Looking ahead, here’s what you can expect in the coming weeks:
Tree Trimming: We'll wrap up tree trimming in the Southwest part of the project to prepare for further construction activities.
Fence Completion: Ongoing work on fence fabric installation and final touch-ups across multiple areas.
Electrical Work: Further underground DC cabling and trench shading to advance the electrical system’s progress.
