Virginia approves the construction and operation of four new solar projects
Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has issued permits for the construction and operation of four new solar projects across the Commonwealth. These four projects are expected to generate 192 megawatts (MW) of electricity, which will offset carbon dioxide emissions by 459 million pounds, equivalent to driving more than 44,000 cars for a year.
The following projects have been permitted:
- Danville Farm, a 12 MW installation developed by Strata Solar Development in Pittsylvania County;
- Dragonfly Solar, an 80 MW installation developed by Apex Clean Energy Holdings in Campbell County;
- Grasshopper Solar Project, an 80 MW installation developed by Dominion Energy Services in Mecklenburg County;
