Harvesting the Kentucky Sunshine to Power Economic Development

Located in the heart of Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region, home to Eastern Kentucky University and Berea College, the Madison County solar project is an economic development opportunity being pursued by ACCIONA.

 

The project was originally developed by Tenaska, and will continue to have Tenaska’s support for project development. The project represents an estimated $120M investment and will employ up to 300 people at peak construction. It will create an estimated five to seven full-time jobs during operation and will contribute millions in local tax revenue over the life of the project.

 

ACCIONA’s team is committed to using local businesses and services providers when possible during construction and operation.

 

An independent consultant performed an analysis of the economic impact the project will bring to Madison County. A summary of that report can be downloaded below.

How a large-scale photovoltaic plant is built in record time

A solar-panel complex was completed a few months ago in the Sonoran Desert in Mexico. From a bird's-eye view, the Puerto Libertad photovoltaic plant looks like a large glass lake. Together, the panels are able to generate clean energy
