The Randolph Solar Project is a 800 MW.ac photovoltaic solar project proposed in Charlotte County, VA.
Project Size
An estimated 6,000 acres will be developed and fenced in for solar equipment. The Project currently has site control over approximately 15,000 acres of land, and the developed acres will be sited within that footprint (Site due diligence and permitting conditions will determine the final layout.) Construction of this $600 million+ facility is expected to begin Q3 / Q4 2023.
Electricity Generated
500 MW.ac is enough to power more than 130,000 homes. Capacity, here measured in megawatts (MW), generally refers to the maximum output (generation) of a power plant. Capacity from PV systems may be measured by either their AC or DC capacity. PV modules produce direct current (DC) voltage. This DC electricity is converted into alternating current (AC). AC rating better corresponds to traditional power plant ratings.
Developers
SolUnesco is the owner of the project and provides day-to-day project development, including site diligence, local and state permitting, design and engineering, management of the interconnection process, commercial offtake, landowner relations, and community relations. A Virginia-based solar developer with 12 projects currently under development, SolUnesco has contributed over 1,400 MWs to the state’s energy pipeline.
Local Impact
Randolph Solar will bring tax revenue, new jobs, increased revenues to local businesses, and more benefits to Charlotte County. Click here for detailed economic and environmental benefits of solar.
