The following shows the difference between distributed and utility-scale
solar in Virginia.
Aaron Berryhill, solar program manager at Virginia Energy -At the end
of 2015, Virginia had no active utility-scale solar installations and about
3,000 distributed sites. By the end of 2021, there were 51 active utility
scale solar facilities of 5 MW or more with a total capacity of 2,657 MW
and approximately 26,000 distributed sites with a total capacity of 248
MW. Solar electricity generated by Virginia's solar projects more than
doubled from 2020 to 2021.
