Solar farm establishes energy trust
Trust fund invests in county
093011 SOLAR FARM 01 web
In the shadows of solar panels, Tabby Power co-founder Sidney Smith answers questions from the community about the solar farm near Pembroke and about the creation of the Georgia Energy Trust Fund Friday.
On a secluded patch of land in eastern Bulloch County, in shadows created by rows of solar panels, a pair of area doctors hosted a commencement ceremony for a project they hope changes the financial future of Georgia. Friday, at their 26-acre solar farm near the Bulloch/Bryan County line, Sidney Smith and Pat Godbey, co-owners of the Tabby Power Solar Company, celebrated the kick-off of the Georgia Energy Trust Fund. The brainchild of Smith, a Savannah dermatologist, and Godbey, a Brunswick pathologist, the Georgia Energy Trust Fund will continuously draw a portion of Tabby Power’s proceeds to be invested for the trust’s participating counties.
