Israeli renewable energy company Energix Renewable Energies Ltd., a specialist in solar and wind projects not only in Israel but significant projects in Poland and emerging projects in parts of Africa, offered intrigue and possibilities for a potential solar project in Wise County on Wednesday.
The company is exploring the potential of building a total 500 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy projects across Virginia, and state and local officials made sure Wise County was included as a potential project site.
Speaking before more than three dozen area and regional government and economic development officials at the Inn at Wise on Wednesday, Energix Chief Executive Officer Asa Levinger said he wasn't there for some showy but meaningless "meet and greet" but intended and hopes for a serious exploration with state and local officials about siting an Energix renewable energy project in the county.
