Weather permitting, Green Energy Partners will float balloons this week on our site in Loudoun County, Va., for a 900-plus megawatt combined cycle energy facility to demonstrate the height of the tallest point of our proposed facility. The ballons will fly between September 14 and September 18. If winds greater than 10 mph are predicted, the balloons will be required to be taken down. Green Energy Partners will be photgraphing from various vantage points to demonstrate the views of the site from various locations. Copies of these simulations will be presented to Loudoun County. For an overview of what Green Energy Partners is proposing in Loudoun County--including how we will re-use treated wastewater that is currently discharged into the Potomac River and construct the largest solar array in Virginia--click here.

Wastewater Would Be Used for Steam
The facility is proposed for 80 acres just south of Leesburg, on property with two existing natural gas lines and two existing electric transmission lines. For steam cooling, the plant would use up to 5 million gallons a day of treated wastewater it would purchase from Leesburg. The treated water is now discharged into the Potomac River.

The Fiscal Impact
Green Energy Partners’ proposal to construct a 981 megawatt energy facility will be a boon to county coffers. It is estimated that this facility will generate approximately $12 million in annual local tax revenue. There won’t be any taxpayer-funded infrastructure needs.
