West Virginia Public Service Commission approved siting for Nicholas Solar project
sourceThe Nicholas Solar project is a proposed 100 MW solar generation facility in Nicholas County, West Virginia. The project is located within the PJM Interconnection region and is being developed by an unknown entity. It consists of 100 MW of solar photovoltaic generation.
The project entered the PJM interconnection queue as queue ID PJM-AF2-311 on March 30, 2020, with a proposed commercial operation date of February 28, 2029. The interconnection agreement (IA) has been executed. The point of interconnection (POI) is the Gilboa-Jones Branch 138 kV line. The Nicholas Solar project has been mentioned in recent news coverage.
