The solar projects will be built in Dominion Energy's service area in Virginia and North Carolina and will gradually become operational by mid-2020. These six facilities are in addition to the two previously announced solar projects in Surry County, Virginia, which were recently approved by the Virginia State Corporation Commission.

"We are thrilled to be able to partner with Dominion Energy to support our operations with new renewable energy resources and bring additional investment to the region," said Bobby Hollis, head of Global Energy and Site Selection at Facebook.

 The new projects (totaling 350 MW) are:

  • 20 MW Montross Solar in Westmoreland County, Virginia (completed) 
  • 20 MW Gloucester Solar in Gloucester, Virginia (completed)
  • 80 MW Grasshopper Solar in Mecklenburg, Virginia 
  • 75 MW Chestnut Solar in Halifax County, North Carolina
  • 75 MW Pecan Solar in Northampton County, North Carolina (completed)
  • 80 MW Gutenberg Solar in Northampton County, North Carolina

Dominion Energy developed Montross Solar and the other projects have or will be acquired from EDF Renewables, Inc., BayWa r.e. Solar Projects LLC, and Strata Solar.

Today, Dominion Energy owns the fourth-largest solar fleet among utility holding companies in the nation, and operates nuclear units that provide carbon-free generation to supplement solar when the sun is not shining.
