PULASKI â Hecate Energy is one step closer to building a 2,700-acre solar farm on agricultural land in Pulaski County after the planning commission voted in favor of the proposed project.
On a 4-2 vote Tuesday night in front of approximately 100 residents, the commission recommended the county Board of Supervisors approve the special use permit the Chicago-based renewable energy company needs to move forward with one of the stateâs biggest solar farm projects on land that is currently zoned for agricultural use.
The permit would allow local landowners to lease several pieces of land to build the solar farm Hecate officials say would generate up to 280 megawatts of renewable energy, enough to power approximately 57,000 homes.
Everybody has a favorite topic to bring up at parties when someone who knows them only vaguely and can’t remember what line of work they’re in seeks clues by asking, “So what have you been up to lately?”
“Advocating for offshore wind!” I used to respond brightly, which is why I wasn’t that popular at parties even before the pandemic.
But I got my longed-for turbines when Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and Dominion Energy committed to developing 2,600 megawatts of offshore wind by the middle of this decade.
So now I’m campaigning for another cutting-edge technology, or rather, for a cutting-edge combination of otherwise familiar technologies. I’m talking about agrivoltaics. For those of you not in the know, agrivoltaics refers to using land for solar panels and farming purposes at the same time. The “construction footprint” of solar that is, the amount of land at a solar facility that is taken up by infrastructure and can’t be used for anything else is less
