CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) – A solar power plant that could serve up to 90,000 homes is on the horizon for Clay and Nicholas counties, the Public Service Commission of West Virginia announced Tuesday.
The PSC said it granted its approval to the project on Monday. PSC officials said the nearly $386 million investment could generate more than 300 jobs during construction.
In late March, Deep Lake Energy Center, LLC, filed an application to construct a 150-megawatt solar electric generating plant on a former surface mine.
According to the PSC, work on the project would begin within five years and would be completed within 10 years.
The agency also states that the plant would be located adjacent to a solar project being developed by Nicholas County Solar Project, LLC, certified by the Commission in a 2022 filing.
