PRINCE GEORGE - A plot of land nestled along Rives Road next to Interstate 295 will soon become a hub of green energy after supervisors unanimously approved 15-megawatt utility-scale facility to set up shop in the county earlier this month.
New Energy Ventures, now known as Caden Energy, according to the company's website, plans to develop a 148-acre site along Rives Road near I-295 northbound into a solar facility that is capable of producing enough energy to power 3,000 county homes annually through the use of roughly 60,000 solar panels across 71 acres, with the power generated from the site being fed to a Dominion Energy substation nearby.
