Geronimo Power recently celebrated the near completion of its 125-megawatt Jackson County Solar project with a ribbon-cutting event, bringing together project partners, landowners, and community members. Attendees toured key areas of the project, including the Callahan Substation, which will connect the solar facility to the grid, and the panel fields, offering insights into the technology and construction process. The event concluded with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark this milestone.
Once operational, Jackson County Solar is expected to generate enough clean energy to power approximately 33,600 homes annually. The project will also have a significant local economic impact, contributing over $71 million, including $28 million in new tax revenue distributed to counties, townships, and school districts.
The project’s environmental benefits are substantial as well. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator, Jackson County Solar will offset an estimated 161,300 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year, equivalent to removing roughly 37,600 cars from the road.
I’m thrilled to be welcoming everyone who helped us bring the Jackson County Solar project to life,” said David Reamer, Chief Development Officer at Geronimo. “Every successful project starts with people – from our landowners and project partners to the local community leaders. When industry and community come together, we’re boosting rural economies that are at the heart of America, and delivering dependable, reliable energy that people can count on for years to come.”
