FirstEnergy Corp.’s subsidiaries, Mon Power and Potomac Edison, have started construction on their second solar site in West Virginia, aiming to improve the state’s energy capacity and economic prospects. Situated on a 27-acre brownfield site in Marion County, the Rivesville solar project will generate up to 5.5 MW of renewable energy, repurposing land formerly associated with coal ash disposal. It marks the second of five planned solar installations by the companies, following the successful launch of the team’s initial site earlier in January 2024. Local union workers are handling the construction, focusing on site preparation and sourcing materials domestically, aligning with the companies’ commitment to sustainable and local initiatives.
