Cattlemen Solar Park

Installed capacity of 390-megawatts of renewable energy

Project Overview

Cattlemen Solar Park consists of two phases and is located in the northeast corner of Milam County, Texas, approximately 70 miles northeast of Austin. The site is entirely on private, non- cultivated land that would be leased from landowners who recognize the benefits of hosting a solar project. Lease payments would serve as a stable, weather-resistant cash crop that complements the area’s agricultural economy.
