About

CC Solar I is a proposed 120 MW solar generation project located in Caroline County, Virginia. The project is being developed within the Dominion service area and interconnected to the PJM grid at the Ladysmith CT-St. Johns 230 kV point of interconnection. It entered the PJM interconnection queue as project AE1-157 on September 24, 2018, with a proposed commercial operation date of June 30, 2025. The interconnection agreement for the project has been executed, though the project status is currently listed as suspended.

The CC Solar I project has been the subject of recent news coverage, with eight articles appearing in the press. These articles primarily focus on regulatory matters, with additional coverage of industry trends and business deals related to the project.

Development Risk

Realization risk from now to commercial operation — financing close, EPC and tax-equity counterparty mix, and COD probability vs the proposed date. The diligence view that determines whether the deal actually closes. Powered by InfraSure's development-stage modeling stack.
