Blevins Solar & Storage Project

270 MW solar/ 360 MWh storage

The Blevins Solar & Storage Project is a 270 megawatt (MW) solar and 360 megawatt hour (MWh) battery storage project located in Falls County, Texas. Blevins Solar & Storage will span approximately 2,300 acres and will be connected to the electric grid via a local substation. The project’s renewable electricity generation is expected to displace fossil-fuel-based generation from the grid, resulting in an estimated 457,300 metric tons of avoided CO₂ emissions annually – the equivalent of taking an estimated 101,700 cars off the road for a year. In addition, the project is anticipated to positively impact the local economy by producing significant tax revenue, project construction and operation jobs, and annual contributions through a charitable fund.
