DeWitt County and Enel Clean Energy have had their differences in the past, and DeWitt County is looking for more ways to hold them accountable. 

At Monday night's DeWitt County Land Use Committee meeting, Committee Chair Buck Carter brought up wind farm ordinances, looking to reinforce ordinances that require regular reports from wind farms within the County. Joe Witte pointed out that it could come in the summer from Enel. 

The County asked Enel last year for an ADLS system that would only turn the flashing lights atop wind turbines on while aircraft are within the wind farm's airspace. Enel reported that they would work on this, but have failed to provide updates on that progress. 

Zoning Administrator Elizabeth Weikle indicated that she has reached out to Enel multiple times in recent months with no response. She added that she would reach out once again in an attempt to communicate the County's frustrations. 

Weikle was very busy during her first year as the County's Zoning Administrator, and we'll have more on the work she completed during the year this weekend from the Hart Media Group.
