BATESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Albemarle County is taking its first steps toward a new energy source.
A permit to build an 8-Megawatt facility for solar energy, with a 4-Megawatt battery energy storage system, has been submitted to the county by Sun Tribe Solar. It’s the beginning of a long process, but the organization says it would bring a new source of energy to the western part of the county.
