For the second time in as many years, the developer of what would be the first commercial wind farm in Virginia has pushed back its plans to start construction.
Apex Clean Energy will not start site work by the end of this year, as originally planned, on a project to build up to 25 giant, power-generating turbines on top of a Botetourt County mountain, a company official said Wednesday.
“Though the original schedule for starting construction this year has slipped, we are still receiving strong interest in the project from counterparties,” Brooke Beaver, a spokeswoman for the Charlottesville company, wrote in an email.
