Virginia 2.4 GW Data Center and Solar Project Permitting
Sector: Data Center • Location: Hanover County, Virginia, United States
Source: Distilled | Michael Thomas
A 2.4 GW data center was approved in Hanover County, Virginia, while a 20 MW solar project was denied. At least 10 Virginia counties have enacted bans or severe restrictions on solar energy projects, including Mecklenburg County which removed utility-scale solar as an allowed land use in April 2025. This reflects local opposition impacting clean energy project approvals in the state.
