Installed capacity of 120 megawatts (MW)
Project overview
The Eagle Creek Solar Park will be located in Saginaw County, west of the town of St.Charles, in Fremont Township. Its namesake, Eagle Creek, flows nearby. The solar park will complement the area’s agricultural resources, providing farmers with a stable, weather-resistant cash crop in the form of landowner lease payments. Eagle Creek Solar Park will also generate millions of dollars in payments to local governments through the life of the project, benefiting schools, health and fire departments, and the townships and county.
Eagle Creek Solar Park yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Eagle Creek Solar Park is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
