Mon Power and Potomac Edison have completed their second utility-scale solar site in West Virginia, with 14,000 solar panels producing 5.5 MW at the Rivesville site in Marion County.
The new solar facility is situated on 27 acres of company-owned property along Morgan Ridge Road. The site had gone unused since the Rivesville Power Station was deactivated in 2012. The solar panels, racking system steel and supporting electrical equipment were made in the United States.
“Our solar projects create construction jobs and support economic growth by helping West Virginia recruit and retain employers,” says Dan Rossero, vice president of FirstEnergy’s West Virginia Generation.
“We are pleased to reach another important milestone in our solar program and are excited about the interest we continue to receive from subscribers.”
The companies’ West Virginia solar program supports a 2020 bill passed by the state legislature that authorizes electric companies to own and operate 200 MW of solar generation facilities to help meet the state’s electricity needs.
Mon Power and Potomac Edison completed their first solar project at Fort Martin Power Station, generating 18.9 MW, in January. The companies began construction this fall on a third project, located in Berkeley County.
Mon Power and Potomac Edison are subsidiaries of FirstEnergy Corp.

Minnesota is home to intelligent, well-educated people whose approval of Trump is lower than that of toenail fungus.
If Lindell wants to lead a state, he needs to choose one at least 800 miles away. Oklahoma?
He may also want to consider that Trump is easily the most detested person in this nation.
I wouldn’t say that the burden of proof lies on religion. No one knows how the universe got here.
The Big Bang was an event in which there was no chaos, no “entropy,” as we say in thermodynamics. How did all this orderliness get there 13.87 billion years ago? No one knows. This is an issue in cosmology which is quite likely to outlast human civilization on this planet.
I’m an atheist for a few reasons, one of which is that saying that God created the universe doesn’t get us any closer to an understanding of the cosmos, if only because it raises the question: Who made God?
More to the point, there are hundreds of moral reasons to disbelieve in God. Each year, 9 million children will die unbaptized on this planet before their fifth birthdays. In the bible, we learn that God punishes them all with an eternity of torture in hell. To what sort of weirdo does this make sense?
At left we have another good reminder that our cognitive biases can render us incapable of thinking critically.
Some of us believe anything we want to.
