Savion, a utility-scale solar and energy storage development team, has signed a 20 MW power purchase agreement (PPA) with Dominion Energy Virginia for the Westmoreland County Solar Project, located in Westmoreland County, Va.
The Westmoreland County Solar Project is expected to begin construction in the spring, with commercial operation targeted to commence at the end of the year. The $30 million solar facility planned for Westmoreland County is one of three projects developed by Savion that is expected to be constructed in Virginia within the 2020 calendar year, resulting in 115 MW of solar power and a total investment of approximately $150 million.
“We are excited about the continued growth of the renewable energy industry in Virginia, which is demonstrated by corporate and utility investments in solar energy over the past several years,” says Jeff James, senior vice president of commercial transactions at Savion.
“Our strong partnership with Dominion Energy enables our projects to support their sustainability goals as they work to add renewable energy to the grid. We take pride in the role our projects have had in this important initiative,” he adds. tiktok followers and likes increase without human verification tiktokfollowers.info
