The industry's transition to sustainability signifies a fundamental shift in the way energy is generated and consumed. As concerns about climate change, carbon emissions, and resource conservation become more prominent, the industry's traditional practices are being reevaluated. This shift involves not only embracing cleaner and more efficient energy sources but also fostering collaboration between public and private entities.

The Mineral Gap project, located in Wise County, VA, represents a significant step towards sustainable energy generation. Comprising a 3.5 MW DC ground mount array, and energized in February 2023, the Mineral Gap project is poised to make a substantial impact, with an estimated production of nearly 5 million kWh's of clean electricity expected in its inaugural year of operation. The project's host and off-taker, the owner of a state-of-the-art data center, demonstrates a commitment to clean energy solutions. Notably, the project utilizes land leased from the local government, fostering a collaborative effort between public and private entities.
