CC Solar is a 120 MWAC clean power facility proposed in Caroline County. The facility will provide meaningful economic value to Caroline County while maintaining the rural and farming heritage of the community. CC Solar is currently engaging the local community to share information and build support prior to seeking approval from the County.
What does this project mean for you and your community?
Over its lifetime, CC Solar will generate upwards of $19 million dollars in tax revenues to Caroline County. That's 35 years of revenue from a project that does not require costly infrastructure and public services or increase traffic. During construction, the project will require hundreds of workers to be onsite, which will provide an economic boost to area businesses and service providers.
Home-grown solar is vital to bolstering Caroline County's grid resilience and enables Virginia to meet its goal to produce its electricity from 100 percent renewable sources by 2050. The transition to clean energy is powered by strong communities whose landowners, local businesses, and citizens recognize their critical role in making it happen.
CC Solar offers local landowners the opportunity to preserve large, open tracts of land that can be used for future generations to come. An offer has been made to give up the development rights on the property, which would only allow the property to be used for agriculture and forestry at the end of the useful life of CC Solar. During the life of CC Solar, wildlife corridors, pollinators, sheep grazing, and other habitat-nurturing features will enable nature to continue to thrive.
