Jackson County Solar Project

125 MW Solar

The Jackson County Solar Project is a 125 megawatt (MW) solar development located in Jackson County, Michigan. Jackson County Solar will span approximately 1,400 acres and will be connected to the electric grid via the Callahan Substation. 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. The gifts donated through the charitable fund are above and beyond any tax revenue delivered by the project. The goal of the charitable fund will be to provide direct benefit and value to the entire community touched by the Jackson Solar Project. Jackson County Solar is estimated to avoid approximately 161,300 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually during operation, which is the equivalent of taking an estimated 37,600 cars off the road for a year or providing the equivalent electrical usage of an estimated 33,600 homes each year.
