Built on existing infrastructure

We aim to bring new reliable energy generation, built on efficient infrastructure, to Hertford County. The Project site is adjacent to Highway 11, west of and outside the town limits of Ahoskie. The site was chosen because of the existing electrical and natural gas infrastructure both on the site and in the area.

The Project would help provide significant tax revenue, jobs, and energy resilience in the area that can benefit the residents of Hertford County. We are seeking a mutually beneficial relationship between Ahoskie Energy, the Town of Ahoskie, local residents, and utility companies.

Committed to being a responsible neighbor

The project site covers approximately 105 acres. Plans for the facility are designed to keep disturbance to a minimum for the neighbors and natural resources around it.

Property Line BuffersBuffer is being allocated along all property lines around the facility to create as little disturbance as possible
Reduced Water UseAir-cooled technology condenses steam with fans and ambient air instead of a water-cooled cooling tower, using a fraction of the water required for wet cooling
