Vesper Solar 600 MW Texas project
The Vesper Solar 600 MW Texas project demonstrates how an agrivoltaics mindset can unlock prime sites.
Developer Vesper Energy collaborated with local land owners on pollinator mixes and sheep grazing for its Hornet Solar project.
Suitable sites for hosting utility-scale solar power projects are becoming scarce, with a study by Paces noting a decline in prospective acreage and potential renewable project site capacity in areas like New York and Illinois.
Developers often face opposition to large projects on optimal land from rural landowners and neighboring communities.
However, by demonstrating how a project can fit with the local life and commerce, it is possible to open up greenfield acreage to solar.
Last spring, Vesper Energy commissioned its 600 MW (AC) Hornet Solar project in Texas, which will be followed by two more projects, bringing a total of 1 GW of new solar capacity and 400 MW of storage to the Texas panhandle.
