VULCAN SOLAR

About the Project

The Vulcan Solar project is an innovative solar project proposed for Maricopa County, Arizona that will have a capacity of up to 800 megawatts of homegrown solar energy with the opportunity of adding a battery energy storage component. The Vulcan Solar project is more than solar panels — it represents a significant investment in Arizona. Once operational, it will create good-paying jobs and millions in additional revenue for the local community.

The project is a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, one of the country's leading energy infrastructure developers.
