Former coal mines sites in Clearfield County could soon be developed into solar farms.
That’s the plan for repurposing 27-hundred acres in the Pennsylvania Mineral Basin. State officials say the proposal has received 90-million-dollars in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The project is designed to accelerate clean energy, create jobs and generating local tax revenue. Planners say the Mineral Basin project in Clearfield County will generate enough power from solar energy to run more than 70-thousand homes. There’s been no timeline released on a start time for the project.
