Vesper Solar 600 MW Texas Project
The Vesper Solar 600 MW Texas project demonstrates how an agrivoltaics approach can unlock prime sites for solar power projects.
Developer Vesper Energy collaborated with local landowners to incorporate pollinator mixes and sheep grazing into its Hornet Solar project.
Suitable sites for large-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.
Additionally, developers often face opposition from rural landowners and neighboring communities when proposing large projects on optimal land.
By showcasing how a project can coexist with local life and commerce, developers can open up new opportunities for solar projects on greenfield acreage.
Vesper Energy's 600 MW (AC) Hornet Solar project in Texas, commissioned last spring, is a prime example of this approach, and is the first of three projects that will bring 1 GW of new solar capacity and 400 MW of storage to the Texas panhandle.
Developer Vesper Energy engaged local land owners on pollinator mixes and sheep grazing for its Hornet Solar project.
