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.

I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:
Don’t live on a budget. Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means. What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?
As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do. You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”
Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country. Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.
I see.
There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.
LOL.
It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.
People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species. Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed. They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.
As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
