About the project
Located in Lamar County, Texas, the approximately 471 MWAC Mockingbird Solar Center will have the capability to power over 80,000 homes over the course of a year and help meet the energy needs of Texas during peak demand periods by providing reliable and flexible solarpowered electricity. Ørsted, a leading developer of wind and solar projects across the United States and globally, will construct, own, and operate the Mockingbird Solar Center.
The project is a long-term asset for Ørsted and the Lamar County community. The solar center will inject new revenue into the tax base which will promote local economic development in Lamar County, and provide long-term financial support for North Lamar and Chisum Independent School Districts.
