SOLAR POWER IN TEXAS

Armadillo Solar Project

in development

AES’ Armadillo solar project is a proposed 204 MW solar generation facility that will be located off US 287 about eight miles southeast of Corsicana in Navarro County, Texas. The Armadillo solar project will help diversify the state’s energy resources while delivering affordable and reliable energy to meet Texas’ rapidly growing electricity demand.

Sustainability Resources

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.

Local partnerships

At AES, we understand that our success as a company is only as strong as our partnerships with the communities where we operate. That’s why we partner with communities, customers, state agencies, higher education, elected officials, and other key stakeholders to see how we can best work together to support sustainable social and economic development.
