Meherrin Solar

• July 2016, SolUnesco secured site control of 758 acres. Due to engineering and local opposition, SolUnesco moved the project footprint and secured an additional 900 acres.
• December of 2016, SolUnesco sold the project rights to Brookfield and executed a Development Services Agreement. SolUnesco retained day-to-day project development responsibilities including landowner relations, community relations, site diligence, local permitting, support of the interconnection process, and support for commercial offtake agreements.
• May 2020, Brookfield sold the project to Virginia Electric Power company. SolUnesco no longer provides an active role in the Meherrin project, providing ad hoc support as needed.
• The project will interconnect to a 115kV Dominion owned transmission line. SolUnesco entered Meherrin into the PJM queue with positions AB1-173, AB1-173A & AB1-031 for an aggregate capacity of 60MWac.  Once complete this project will provide power to the wholesale electricity grid and either sell directly to a large customer, the utility, or the utility may purchase the project adding this competitive, fixed priced power to their portfolio of power generation.
• This project has achieved full site control, both for the project property and for a transmission easement through neighboring property.
