Overview
The Schoolfield facility operates under a license issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Eagle Creek Schoolfield, LLC (a subsidiary of Eagle Creek Renewable Energy) and the City of Danville, VA are the co-licensees for the facility. The facility's current license was issued in 1994 and expires in 2024. On May 31, 2019, the licensee submitted documentation to the FERC to initiate the process of re-licensing the Schoolfield facility.
