Energy company unveils plans for solar farm near Smith Mountain Lake
Energy company unveils plans for solar farm near Smith Mountain Lake
Laurence Hammack 14 hrs ago
An Israel-based renewable energy company is proposing what could become the first utility-scale solar project in the Roanoke Valley.
Officials with Energix US will hold a virtual community meeting Monday to share details about a solar farm they hope to build on private land near Smith Mountain Lake in Franklin County.

Dubbed Westlake Solar, the project would be located just south of Virginia 122, about 2 miles west of Bridgewater Plaza.
An array of photovoltaic panels would have trackers that move with the sun, reducing the potential for glare when viewed from the ground, the company says. Landscaping and vegetation buffers are planned to screen its view from neighboring properties.
