Pennsylvania to host largest East Coast solar power plant

A new solar energy power station is being built in southeastern Pennsylvania that will be the fourth-largest facility of its kind in the country and the largest east of Arizona when operations begin next April, according to an article in the Environment News Service.

Plans call for more than 16,500 solar panels to be installed on 16.5 acres.

Upon completion, the plant will produce approximately 3,700 MWh of power, enough to meet the annual energy requirements of 300-350 homes. At this output, emission levels of CO2 and SO2 that directly contribute to pollution and acid rain will be reduced by the equivalent benefit of planting 33 acres of trees every year.
