By situating solar panels on former underground mining land, RWE continues the area’s energy legacy while delivering infrastructure that powers thousands of homes sustainably. Panel breakage is rare, including during severe weather events, and RWE's advanced remote operations center monitors the solar panels 24/7, 365 days a year, guaranteeing their durability and reliability. Upon decommissioning, our efforts continue as the panel and racking structures will be recycled, supporting RWE's commitment to sustainable practices. Each step of the project lifecycle, from planning to operation, reflects a dedication to operational excellence and community engagement, emphasizing RWE's role as a green energy leader.
Community engagement is a cornerstone of RWE's project strategy. In Randolph County, we maintain transparency and open communication, ensuring local residents are informed and involved. The anticipated property tax revenues will significantly support local school districts and public services, helping to foster a thriving community. Our approach maximizes land use by transforming former underground coal mine sites into productive solar power areas, contributing to the environment and economy through this innovative initiative.
