New solar projects in McKean and Potter Counties are among new renewable energy projects announced by Amazon.
The company announced its intention to build a 90 megawatt solar farm along the Clermont-Wilcox Road in Sergeant Township in McKean County, and a 30 megawatt solar farm in Potter County. A map on Amazon’s website suggests the Potter County project will be in the area of Hebron Township.
Both farms are slated to be operational in 2023.
The farms are part of the company’s plan to power 100% of their company activities with renewable energy by 2025.
Why would Amazon want to do this so far away from their buildings? Also, how efficient are these panels? And finally, what about the environmental issues?
I dont know, but this is right next to my camp . They are saving the environment by cutting down 600+ acres of trees while there are abandoned farms around the area that would work better . Also if they burn, the run off will be in the clarion river .
