Magnolia Springs Project is a proposed solar and storage project in Jefferson County, chosen for its strong solar potential and evolving grid infrastructure. Unlike other solar developments in the area, it’s designed to be hidden and unobtrusive. The project will deliver clean, reliable energy with long-term local value through thoughtful planning and collaboration. The project is positioned to enhance local economic development through significant tax revenue generation and job creation in constructing the project.
Magnolia Springs Project Status
Our Approach
As a responsible developer, owner, and operator, safety is our top priority.
We are committed to operating safely and responsibly, partnering with experienced contractors who meet rigorous industry standards. We also recognize the importance of community trust and are dedicated to open communication with local stakeholders. Our goal is to deliver a clean energy project that reflects community values and fosters a positive, long-term relationship.
Hidden Neighbor
Magnolia Springs Project is located in a remote, forested area aiming to remain out of sight and minimize disruption to nearby communities as much as possible. We intend to coordinate with local authorities during construction to help minimize temporary impacts, support road quality where feasible, and address traffic-related concerns as appropriate.
Local Sourcing and Collaboration
We prioritize sourcing materials, labor, and services locally to support Jefferson County’s economy and build strong community connections whenever possible. We're also exploring collaboration with local schools and institutions to create educational and fellowship opportunities tied to the project.
Conservation Opportunities
The Magnolia Springs Project is designed with environmental stewardship in mind. We’re pursuing conservation initiatives that help protect and strengthen the local ecosystem for long-term sustainability.
Renovate Facilities
In line with our broader goal of contributing to the community, alongside the operations of the Magnolia Springs Project, we’re donating to help renovate a local hospital!
Magnolia Springs Project is planned for a remote, forested area, naturally buffered by trees to reduce visibility and minimize disruption.
We’re exploring ways to incorporate conservation-minded practices into the project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a solar farm?
A solar farm is a large collection of solar panels installed on open land to generate clean electricity from the sun. The power is usually sent to the electric grid to serve homes and businesses.
What does battery storage do?
Batteries help the power grid by:
Keeping the lights on during blackouts or emergencies.
Saving money by storing cheap energy and using it when prices are high.
Balancing supply and demand to make electricity more reliable and efficient.
Supporting clean energy by working with solar and wind
Will the solar farm create pollution?
No. Solar farms don’t emit air or water pollution. They are among the cleanest forms of energy production. The electrical components of the solar facility actually do make noise.
How is a solar farm different from rooftop solar?
Solar farms are large-scale energy projects that generate significantly more electricity than rooftop solar systems. While rooftop solar typically powers a single home or building, solar farms feed electricity directly into the energy grid for broader commercial or community use. Additionally, solar farms often contribute to local economies by paying property taxes or community fees, which can directly help fund schools, infrastructure, and public services.
