Arevon Energy, an American energy developer, owner and operator, has broken ground on its 124-megawatt dc Big Muddy Solar Project in Jackson County, Ill.
The project will be able to produce enough domestic energy to power more than 24,000 homes when it achieves commercial operation, which is slated for the end of 2026.
Arevon developed and will own and operate the Big Muddy Solar Project, which represents nearly $200 million in private investment and the company’s first utility-scale project in Illinois.
Big Muddy Solar was previously named Campbell Solar and was renamed to acknowledge the river that winds through Jackson County. The project has assembled a long-term virtual power-purchase agreement with an American multinational technology company.
According to Arevon, more than $12.6 million in property tax payments will be disbursed during the life of the project to support schools, public safety and community infrastructure.
