Summit Ridge Energy has acquired 19 community solar projects, located across Virginia, totaling 100 MW.
The portfolio was obtained from seven partners, including Apex Clean Energy, ESA Solar, ForeFront Power, New Leaf Energy, RWE Clean Energy and SolAmerica Energy. The acquisitions were made by Summit Ridge’s joint venture with Osaka Gas USA, a subsidiary of Osaka Gas.
Virginia has invested $250 million towards construction and operation of the portfolio’s projects, which will provide more than 1,000 jobs for construction workers, vendors and local businesses.
“This new portfolio is an example of our ability to execute in a challenging economic environment and demonstrates our commitment to our home state of Virginia,” says Steve Raeder, Summit Ridge CEO. “More importantly, all of the savings generated by each solar project will be offered to low-income customers, reducing electricity bills for thousands of Virginia households.”
The portfolio makes Summit Ridge the market leader in its home state of Virginia and represents more than two-thirds of the projects to be built under the state’s Shared Solar Program.
Launched as part of the state’s Clean Economy Act, the Shared Solar Program is designed to support Virginia’s decarbonization goals and incentivize equitable access to clean energy.

The Downside of Social Media
At left is a recent post by a “friend” on FB. A couple of points that illustrate how inane and dangerous social media can be:
- This is a hoax that was debunked that year.
- Protesting the U.S. support for what’s happening in Gaza is far different than “organizing pro-Hamas rallies.”
- Objecting to the free expression of ideas is unAmerican.
Of course, stupidity exists even in the absence of social media, but there is no doubt that it accelerates that rate at which crap like this can be promulgated throughout our society.

This Is a Big Ask
To accept what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, you’ll have to pretend that you received your DOGE and Tariff checks, that grocery and gasoline prices aren’t through the roof, that the national debt didn’t just break the $40 trillion barrier, and that the United States has won the illegal and pointless war in Iran.
OK, we’re stupid, but there must be a limit.
Please tell me there is a limit.

Trump’s Attempt at Bribery
There are so many obnoxious features of Trump’s offer to bribe voters that it’s impossible to count them all.
Something that jumps out at me is that I live among people whose integrity is for sale for $5000.
