They oppose utility-scale solar anywhere except existing industrial land, in favor of the "low hanging fruit" of rooftop solar.

>PEC is an advocate for solar energy, especially distributed solar power generation - small scale solar (usually rooftop) primarily designed to meet the immediate demands of the property in which it is located. In comparison, the size and nature of USS Facilities create challenges for any locality to protect important resources and the public health, safety, and welfare of the community. Virginia has thousands of acres of rooftops, parking lots, and landfills devoid of solar panels in areas of moderate to high energy demand, in addition to contaminated and/or underutilized industrial sites. It is PEC’s belief that we should be looking to these developed areas as the low hanging fruit of future solar sites.

>Utility-Scale Solar (USS) Facilities are industrial facilities and should not be allowed by-right on agriculturally zoned lands. Given their size and nature, they should be:

>● Subject to a Conditional or Special Use Permit in agriculturally zoned areas with maximum acreage allowed per project and possibly per the entire County; and/or

>● Limited to existing industrial zoned areas.

> ○ Agricultural land should not be spot zoned to create additional industrial zoned areas for USS Facilities.
