Sustainability best practices
At AES, safety is our highest priority, and we’ve focused on improving lives for more than 40 years. As a leading innovator in energy solutions, sustainability is core to both our strategy and our culture. We are committed to responsible land use and incorporating sustainable best practices into the entire project lifecycle, contributing to building a domestic circular renewables economy and reducing foreign dependence.
Economic benefits
The Armadillo solar project will provide a significant economic boost to the local communities over the life of the project. The project will generate tens of millions of dollars in new tax revenue that will support local infrastructure, services and schools, including Mildred Independent School District, Navarro County, Navarro College, and other local taxing entities. The project will also generate stable, long-term income for project landowners in the area.
