WEIRS CREEK SOLAR PROJECT
About the Project
The Weirs Creek Solar project is an innovative solar project proposed for Webster and Hopkins counties, Kentucky that will have a capacity of up to 150 megawatts of clean, renewable, American-made energy. The Weirs Creek Solar project is more than solar panels — it represents a significant capital investment in Kentucky. Once operational, it will create good-paying jobs and millions in additional revenue for landowners and the local community.
It is a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, the world’s largest generator of renewable energy from the wind and the sun.
