Our renewable energy projects not only provide emission-free clean energy to communities but also offer a way to let agricultural land rest while continuing to generate revenue. EDPR NA’s solar parks are among the top taxpaying entities in the county or city where we operate, providing critical funding for services relied upon by local residents. Below is an overview of our economic impact in the state to date:

There is room for all of us at the table. Traditional energy sources and renewables can complement and balance each other out. I think that the best world includes us working together.
