The US Department of Energy (DOE) will commit US$475 million in funding for five clean energy projects at current and former mine sites across the US, which include three new solar projects.
Two of the projects will be built at retired coal mines in the states of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The former, the Mineral Basin project, will see US$90 million invested into a 402MW solar project, while the latter, the Model for Transition project, will involve the construction of a 250MW project, at a cost of US$120 million.
