Distribution

Who will buy the power? There are many power distribution companies in this area, including Dominion Virginia Power, NOVEC, Old Dominion Electrical Cooperative and PEPCO, among others. Green Energy Partners hopes to eventually work with a local provider to bring Loudoun residents clean and efficient energy.
How will power be transmitted? Being situated along the existing transmission lines, Green Energy Partners can tie directly into these lines within the plant, eliminating the need for new transmission lines. Once connected to the transmission lines, the power will travel north and south to where it is needed in the County. Approximately one mile north of the site are existing east-west transmission lines. Power from the plant can be transferred to these lines to supply all four directions.
Will we need more power lines? Northern Virginia and Loudoun County continue to attract high-paying jobs in the technology industry. The people of Loudoun County also enjoy the conveniences of modern living. Both these items require electricity. Even though we must conserve power through reducing demand there will continue to be an increasing need for electric power. This need can be supplied in one of two ways: by local, clean production such as Green Energy Partners, or importing power from far away through new transmission tower lines. The Green Energy Partners power plant will minimize or even eliminate the need for new interstate transmission lines for many years.

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.
