Geronimo Power hosted an official ceremony to mark the progress of its 125-megawatt (MW) solar project located in Jackson County, Michigan. The event brought together project partners, landowners and community representatives, recognising the culmination of several years of development and industrial coordination.

A project rooted in the local economy

According to data provided by the company, the facility is expected to generate over $71mn (EUR67.1mn) in direct economic impact for the region. This includes $28mn (EUR26.5mn) in tax revenue to be distributed among local governments, townships and school districts in the county. Once fully operational, the site will generate enough electricity to meet the estimated annual consumption of 33,600 households.

During the event, guests were given a guided tour of the construction site, including a presentation of the Callahan Substation, the future grid connection point, as well as an overview of the technology deployed on-site. Now in its final construction phase, the project is expected to enter commercial service soon.

Industrial partnerships and regional manufacturing

The Jackson County Solar project benefits from a partially regionalised supply chain. The steel structures for the Nextracker solar tracking systems were produced using steel sourced from Ohio and Indiana, with local assembly, according to the company. This approach enabled the mobilisation of local manufacturing capacities while strengthening industrial supply chains across the American Midwest.

Consumers Energy, the project’s utility partner, confirmed its commitment to integrating additional capacity into its generation portfolio. Sri Maddipati, president of the company’s electric supply division, described the collaboration with Geronimo Power as a key component of its regional procurement strategy.

Commissioning scheduled by end of 2025

Geronimo Power plans to commission the project before the end of the year. The company states that the Jackson County solar facility will enhance energy supply reliability in southern Michigan. During its operational phase, the installation is expected to offset around 161,300 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, based on estimates from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) equivalency calculator.

David Reamer, Chief Development Officer at Geronimo Power, thanked all stakeholders involved in the project. He highlighted the importance of community and industrial partnerships in delivering large-scale energy infrastructure.
