UTILITY SOLAR PROJECTS

Solar Mason is committed to building utility-scale solar energy projects in Northeast Pennsylvania, which will help to meet the growing demand for clean, renewable energy in the region. To build these projects, Solar Mason will follow a rigorous process that includes obtaining all necessary approvals and permits from regulatory agencies.

​

The following are the key approvals required for proceeding with a utility-scale solar project in Northeast Pennsylvania:

​

• Site Approval: Solar Mason will conduct a thorough site assessment to determine the suitability of the site for a solar energy project. This will involve evaluating factors such as the availability of sunlight, access to the electrical grid, and any environmental or land-use restrictions.

​

• Permits: Solar Mason will need to obtain the necessary permits and licenses from local, state, and federal agencies. This will include permits for land use, construction, and electrical connections.

​

• Environmental Impact Assessment: Solar Mason will conduct an environmental impact assessment to evaluate the potential impact of the project on the surrounding environment and to identify any measures that may need to be taken to minimize any negative impacts.

​

• Power Purchase Agreement: Solar Mason will negotiate a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with PPL Electric Utilities, which will outline the terms and conditions for selling the energy generated by the project back to PPL at the rate to compare.

​

• Interconnection Agreement: Solar Mason will also need to obtain an Interconnection Agreement with PPL Electric Utilities, which will outline the terms and conditions for connecting the project to the electrical grid.

​

• Financing: Solar Mason will secure the necessary financing for the project, which may involve obtaining loans, grants, or private investment.

​

• Construction: Once all approvals and permits have been obtained, construction of the project can commence. Solar Mason will work with a team of experienced contractors to build and install the solar energy system.

​

• Commissioning and Operation: Upon completion of the project, Solar Mason will commission the system and begin operating it. This will involve monitoring the system's performance and making any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal performance.

​

Solar Mason is committed to working closely with regulatory agencies and other stakeholders to obtain the necessary approvals and permits for its utility-scale solar projects in Northeast Pennsylvania. By following this rigorous process, Solar Mason will be able to deliver high-quality, sustainable energy solutions that meet the needs of the region.
