The DeWitt County Board plans to hear from representatives from Enel Green Energy tonight at its monthly meeting.

Board Chair Dan Matthews says this visit from the developer of the Alta Farms II wind farm in northwest DeWitt County is long overdue as the Board has many questions for them - particularly regarding curtailment during severe weather. 

According to Matthews, this issue stems from the County's ordinances not being well written and the County is now paying the price for that. He notes this is an issue of public safety.

Matthews designated Land Use Committee Chair Joe Witte to lead the conversation with Enel. Matthews hopes to come out of the meeting with the Enel representatives with answers and a path toward better communication.

Matthews has invited Enel to make any presentations or remarks ahead of the questions from the County Board. Unsure of how much time they will take with that, he hopes the discussions wrap up within an hour.
