It Was Nice Meeting You This Week |

Many of you could be stumbling by this Web site for the first time after meeting us at the various public hearings this week related to the PATH trasmission line in Winchester and Purcellville. We enjoyed the discussions over the last few days and hope that over the coming months the dialogue continues. Our main message to those of you who took time out of your week to testify is that we're proposing enough clean energy in Loudoun County--where the users of the energy are--to decrease the area's need for imported power. By building what would be the largest solar array in Virginia, tapping into clean natural gas and re-using treated waste water the Town of Leesburg currently discharges into the Potomac River, we hope to help Loudoun County claim its energy independence. Our proposed location, which is described in more detail here, is also highly unique. There are two existing high-voltage transmission towers that traverse our proposed location containing three separate transmission lines. That will allow on-site access to the electrical transmission grid, meaning the power we generate will head directly into the grid without the need to install new transmission lines. For now, we hope you'll take a look around our Web site and feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.

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.
