The West Virginia Public Service Commission has approved a solar project in Mineral County.
The 100-megawatt solar facility will be built by Potomac Hills Energy on a 650-acre former strip-mining site.
A 200-megawatt-hour battery storage system is also planned. The facility will connect to FirstEnergy, the parent company of Mon Power and Potomac Edison.
Solar is undergoing a bit of a boom in the state. West Virginia’s largest solar facility was activated in Monongalia County in January. It’s operated by FirstEnergy. The company is building a second solar facility in Marion County, and three more are planned elsewhere.
The U.S. Department of Energy will provide up to $129 million for a solar project in Nicholas County on two former coal mines. It is planned to generate 250 megawatts of electricity.
Savion, a subsidiary of Shell based in Kansas City, Missouri, will build the project.
