Installed capacity of 100-megawatts of renewable energy
Project overview
Flatrock Creek Solar Park would be located on flat farmground outside of New Haven. The solar park would complement the area’s agriculture and it would bring $200 million in capital investment to southern Allen County. Flatrock Creek Solar Park would also generate $30 million in payments to local governments throughout the life of the project, benefiting schools, health and fire departments, and the township and county. More specifically, more than $16 million would be going to East Allen County schools. Additionally, Flatrock Creek would contribute to meeting Indiana’s energy demands.
Flatrock Creek Solar Park yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Flatrock Creek Solar Park is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.

Infrastructure
Solar energy in the U.S.
Flatrock Creek Solar Park would save more than 127 million gallons of water each year and would displace carbon emissions from fossil fuel power plants, a major contributor to climate change. Solar energy also enhances air quality by helping to mitigate the health effects of harmful air pollutants.
