CleanChoice Energy, a leading clean energy company, has implemented the first step in its mission to develop and own a portfolio ofsolar power generation facilities by acquiring a solar project in Franklin County, Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. The project has a planned installed capacity of 25.15 MWdc and is CleanChoice’s first acquisition in line with its long-term ownership strategy.

Project Details and Renewable Capacity

Located on 168 acres in Franklin County, this solar project will contribute renewable energy to the PJM power grid via FirstEnergy. CleanChoice Energy plans to begin construction on the site shortly, with the aim of starting energy production in the last quarter of 2024.
