Wastewater Would Be Used for Cooling
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 facility is proposed for 101 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
GEP/S’s proposal to construct a 750 megawatt energy facility will generate significant economic benefits to the community. It is estimated that this facility will generate millions in annual local tax revenue and users fees for Loudoun County and the Town of Leesburg, create hundreds of jobs during construction and use local vendors and their products during operations, all without the need for any taxpayer-funded infrastructure.
