Chesterfield Planning Commission to consider 125-acre solar farm
On the docket for Tuesday’s Planning Commission meeting is a zoning proposal tied to a solar farm project near Ettrick.
RWE Clean Energy wants to build an 8-megawatt solar farm on a 125-acre site at 19860 Woodpecker Road. The project site consists of some or all of six parcels. The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit to allow the project on land zoned agricultural.
If approved, the facility would produce and sell electricity to Dominion Energy. The facility would be expected to operate for a 25-year period, with an option to lengthen the operational lifespan to 40 years, per a staff report.
Staff recommends denial of the project because the site is deemed better suited for residential development per Chesterfield’s comprehensive plan.
The Chesterfield Board of Supervisors will make a final decision on the project at a future meeting which would follow the Planning Commission’s review this week.
