Case Studies
Burt County Solar
In Development Burt County, Nebraska, east of TekamahBurt County Solar is a three-phase solar development totaling 850 MW in Burt County, Nebraska. Developed by Sandhills Energy, the project includes two 250 MW phases and one 350 MW phase, with construction beginning in 2026 and 2027 and commercial operation expected in 2029. Across all three phases, Burt County Solar is expected to generate enough electricity annually to power approximately 160,000 homes.
Butler County Solar
In Development Butler County, Nebraska, near David CityThis 232.1 MW project is expected to begin construction in Q3 2026 and reach commercial operation in Q4 2027. Once complete, it will generate long-term tax revenue (estimated at over $21 million over 35 years) for Butler County schools, infrastructure, and public services.
MEAN Solar Portfolio
Operational Colorado, Iowa, and NebraskaWe’re proud to say that all 15 sites in the MEAN Portfolio are now operational, and by completing these solar installations in tandem throughout 2024 and 2025, we were able to achieve economies of scale that would not be otherwise possible.
In Development Projects
Over two gigawatts of renewable energy assets are currently under development with Sandhills Energy and our partners.
K Junction
Solar
York County, Nebraska
In May 2026, we took ownership of the proposed K-Junction Solar project from Omaha Public Power District. The project has the potential to connect up to 310 MW of solar and battery storage to the grid while generating an estimated $610 million in net economic development and $30 million in local tax revenue.
Clay Creek Energy
