SunEnergy1 has notified the Department of Environmental Quality of its intent to submit the necessary documentation for a permit by rule (PBR) for the construction of a small renewable energy project (solar) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, pursuant to 9VAC15-60 of the Virginia Administrative Code.  This 20 MW AC project will be a ground-mounted solar photovoltaic facility utilizing a single-axis tracking system and comprised of approximately 93,000 solar modules. The facility will be constructed on approximately 250 acres located approximately at 3028 Mechanicsville Turnpike, Mechanicsville, Virginia, GPS point 37.667591 & -77.197951, in Hanover County. The site is zoned A-l Agricultural and rezoning will not be required; however, Hanover County will require the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for which an application is in process. Dominion Virginia Power will be the interconnecting utility and will be purchasing the power from this project to meet their goals for renewable and diverse energy generation. If the public has any questions regarding this project's PBR application, please contact Linda Nwadike at 704-662-0375 ext. 104 or Linda.Nwadike@sunenergyl.com.
