And then, there were two.
Kudos to the West Virginia Public Service Commission for granting a siting certificate to the Delaware-based company Wild Solar LLC and the companyâs plans to construct a 92.5 megawatt solar generating facility in Jefferson County. The project will be located on approximately 795 acres of agricultural land.
The estimated cost of the project is $125 million, and it is estimated to bring in $175,000 in local property tax revenues during its first year of operation. When finished, the solar farm will sell power to the wholesale energy market.
The Wild Solar project probably flew under the radar for most West Virginians this week as residents dealt with the snow, some with power outages, others worrying about their kids returning to school safely or just simply trying to make it through another day of the COVID pandemic.
