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 significant annual local tax revenue. The project also doesn't require any taxpayer-funded infrastructure needs. Because the energy facility will be completely secured, all road improvements for the site will be private and for internal use only. It’s estimated that the energy facility will employ about 25-30 people, meaning there won’t be additional traffic issues generated. In addition, because no residential units are proposed on the site, the county will not have to fund schools and other infrastructure needs down the road to support the development. From a fiscal perspective, Green Energy Partners’ proposal will allow the county to stem the current economic recession and provide a permanent tax base that doesn’t add significant cars to the roads or the need to build more schools.

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.
