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.

Trump’s Only Real Talents: Attracting Attention and Controlling Morally Weak People
Trump is not an idiot. His IQ may not be too high, but he’s smart enough to know how to conduct himself in his lifelong quest to amass more wealth and power at the expense of everyone else on Earth.
Trump’s Only Real Talents: Attracting Attention and Controlling Morally Weak People
At left we see the moral bankruptcy that guides our civilization.
I recall many years ago, when Musk was becoming a “thing,” writing a post to the effect that, “What a terrible shame. We really didn’t need just one more super-rich asshole on this beleaguered planet.”
It’s easy to understand how Trump has great appeal to the hateful idiots and the amoral rich.
It’s much harder to see how it’s possible that a huge number of eligible voters are uninvolved in guiding the future of the United States, with many of them saying that “both sides are the same.”
