About Plantersville Renewable Engery Center
The project area would encompass approximately 2,250 acres in northern Georgetown County. Sunrise Renewables and the landowner understand the importance of forests to the local community and economy and will develop the project in an environmentally sound manner.
This homegrown, clean energy project is anticipated to bring local benefits without increased costs to the community.
It will not add a material burden on infrastructure, schools, or other services. In addition, at the end of the project’s useful life, Sunrise is contractually bound to remove all infrastructure, and the landowner plans to reforest the site and continue sustainable forest management on the property.

Community Engagement
While there is no specific requirement for solar developers to undertake pre-application community engagement, Sunrise Renewables understands connecting with the community is vital to the success of the Plantersville Renewable Energy Center (PREC). Sunrise Renewables has hosted two community events over the summer to share project details and answer questions. Click here for a recap on each event, including feedback from the attendees.
Community Open House - July 30, 2024
Community Presentation - August 26, 2024
These community meetings are a proactive approach because we genuinely want to work with the community. We believe that transparent communication and collaboration will help ensure that this project benefits everyone involved. Sunrise Renewables is committed to building long-term, collaborative relationships with the Plantersville community. Additional community events will be hosted throughout the process. Dates and times of future meetings will be posted on this website.
