Wildflower Solar is a 16.5-megawatt solar farm in Sacramento County, California. Wildflower generates enough renewable energy to cover the equivalent annual electricity needs of 2,624 homes in Northern California.
Bighorn Solar is 300-megawatt solar farm in Pueblo, Colorado. Bighorn powers the world’s first steel mill to run almost entirely on solar by delivering renewable energy to Xcel Energy and the EVRAZ steel company. It is the largest on-site solar facility in the US dedicated to a single customer, with more than 750,000 solar panels providing nearly all the plant’s annual electricity demand. This will enable the mill to produce some of the world’s greenest steel and steel products.
Johnson Corner Solar is a 27.5-megawatt solar farm in Stanton County, Kansas. It is the largest solar farm in Kansas, consisting of 75,000 solar panels across 144 acres and generates enough renewable electricity to power 5,165 homes across central and western Kansas every year.
Grants Solar and Bluewater Solar are solar farms that together generate 9-megawatts of renewable energy for New Mexico’s Continental Divide Electric Coop (CDEC). Grants & Bluewater can power 1,700 homes per year.
Penn State Solar is a 70-megawatt solar farm that provides 25% of Penn State University’s state-wide electricity needs. One of the largest in the state, the project is comprised of over 150,000 solar panels installed across three sites, encompassing approximately 500 acres of land in Franklin County, outside of Chambersburg, and near Penn State’s Mont Alto campus.
Elsewhere in Franklin County is Elk Hill Solar 2, a 17.5-megawatt solar farm that was developed under a power purchase agreement with Southern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA). The project is the first of two solar farms being developed for SEPTA. Upon completion of the second, Elk Hill 2 will generate an estimated 27-megwatts of renewable power, or nearly 10 percent of SEPTA’s annual electricity need.
Texas is home to three large-scale, fully operational Lightsource bp solar projects.
The largest, Impact Solar, is a 260-megawatt solar farm located in Lamar County, 120 miles northeast of Dallas. The majority of the renewable energy generated at Impact is contracted through a long-term agreement with bp’s trading and shipping business.
Elm Branch Solar is a 163-megawatt solar farm located 40 miles south of Dallas and provides renewable power to L3Harris Technology, a global aerospace and defense technology innovator. The Elm Branch Solar project helps L3Harris achieve its sustainability goals while spurring development of renewable infrastructure in Texas.
Briar Creek Solar, also located near Dallas in Navarro County, is a 153-megawatt solar farm. This project provides renewable energy under an innovative power contract with the Capital Solutions unit of Allianz Global Corporate & Specifically (AGCS), in partnership with Nephila Climate.
