The 250-megawatt solar project is being developed in conjunction with the Wolf Hills Natural Gas Plant, which is located in Bristol Industrial Park, the release said.
The release states:
Developer Catalyst Energy Partners plan to create a hybrid power plant that will provide the community with solar power during the day and use natural gas power when the sun isn’t shining. It will create enough clean energy to power 40,000 homes in the surrounding area.
The release comes just days after the Washington County, Virginia, community raised its concerns over the project.
