Pleinmont Solar 2 is a 240 MW solar photovoltaic power plant located in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The plant began operating in 2021 and is owned and operated by AES Distributed Energy, a subsidiary of AES. It utilizes single-axis tracking technology to maximize solar energy capture. Pleinmont Solar 2 is connected to the PJM Interconnection grid, which serves as both the balancing authority and the regional transmission organization (RTO). The plant is located within the SERC NERC region.
In its most recent year of operation, Pleinmont Solar 2 generated 437,148 MWh of electricity, achieving a capacity factor of 20.8%. The plant is ranked as the 3rd largest solar facility out of 25 in the state of Virginia, and 158th out of 639 solar plants nationally. Financial data for Pleinmont Solar 2 is available from LBNL, indicating that the plant's development and operation are tracked in financial analyses of the solar energy sector.

No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
