The Rocky Forge Wind project is a proposed 78.2 MW wind generation facility located in Botetourt County, Virginia. The project, developed within the PJM Interconnection region, entered the PJM queue as queue ID PJM-AA1-038 on August 19, 2014. Its proposed commercial operation date is December 31, 2026, and the interconnection agreement has been executed.
The proposed project is linked to the existing Rocky Forge Wind operating plant (EIA ID 68197). Interconnection will be at the Lexington-Low Moor 230kV point of interconnection. The Rocky Forge Wind project has been the subject of recent news coverage.
