Former mine land can support clean energy generation while creating local revenue, construction activity, environmental restoration, and a more resilient regional energy system.
Across Appalachia, former coal and mine lands carry both an industrial legacy and an opportunity for renewal. Many of these sites face environmental challenges, safety concerns, and limited paths toward productive reuse.
Our work starts with the realities of the land itself: stabilization, reclamation, water and soil conditions, permitting, interconnection, and community priorities. From there, utility-scale solar creates a new long-term role for land that has already carried the burden of energy production.
Our site in Audenried, Pennsylvania is one example of that approach — showing how former mine land can support clean energy generation while creating local revenue, construction activity, environmental restoration, and a more resilient regional energy system.
