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.

At left is a question typical of a Republican moron. Might someone say, “No, taxes don’t need to be spent on things that serve our interests?”
The question, of course, is what actually does serve our interests.
Believe it or not, there are people in countries on this planet who think that tax money serves their interest if it goes to creating a healthier, happier, better educated, more humane society.
These are the same countries that tax rich people heavily, where attaining a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars is extremely difficult–probably impossible. But those nations don’t have homeless veterans living in the street and presidents who are rapists and convicted felons.
Unfortunately, there are tens of millions of morons who believe hateful garage like this.
The average 10-year-old can understand that we can BOTH protect our citizens while obeying the U.S. Constitution and international law when it comes to treating the undocumented legally and humanely.
Again, this is what is called the logical fallacy of the “false dichotomy.” Only idiots believe we have to choose one over the other.
I would say that the regulations on energy (and transportation) companies should be sufficient to put pressure on them to phase out fossil fuels and decarbonize in favor of renewables and nuclear.
