Rep. Roy Renews Pressure on AMPYR Energy on Proposed BESS and Solar Facility
Washington, D.C. - Representative Chip Roy (R-TX-21) continued to press AMPYR Energy for answers regarding their sprawling solar and BESS site planned near Willow City, a rural community in Gillespie County and close to where the Crabapple Wildfire happened last year.
Rep. Roy wrote: “There are several urgent questions that my constituents and I need answered regarding the energy project located near Willow City in Gillespie County, TX. It is my understanding that it will be composed of both battery energy storage systems and solar panels.”
Roy continued: “I provided these questions to you in my letter dated November 25, 2025. I requested that my letter be answered by December 10, 2025. As of today’s date, I have yet to receive a reply from AMPYR. My office requires answers in order to adequately assist my affected constituents. I continue to receive phone calls and correspondence from concerned citizens. As you are aware, Gillespie County residents are concerned about the effect this project will have on the Hill Country environment, general safety, and surrounding property values.”
