Geronimo Power Breaks Ground on 125 MW Jackson County Solar Project in Michigan

Geronimo Power announced the start of onsite construction at its 125-megawatt (MW) Jackson County Solar project in Michigan. The project will join the company’s MiSolar Portfolio in Clinton and Monroe counties, expanding Geronimo’s footprint in the Midwestern Independent System Operator (MISO) market to nearly one gigawatt (GW). “As a company founded on a farm in the rural Midwest, I’m thrilled to see our MISO footprint continue to grow,” said Joe Ibrahim, Vice President of Construction at Geronimo. “The addition of the Jackson project to our Michigan portfolio will bring more than $70 millionin total economic benefit. This is significant when you consider the impact that will make for local residents and communities – we’re proud to be part of that story.”

Once operational, Jackson County Solar is expected to deliver $28 million in new tax revenue over 20 years, benefiting local counties, townships, and school districts. Construction, led by Barnhart Energy Company (BEC), is projected to support approximately 300 construction and service jobs.

Set to come online next year, the project will generate enough clean electricity to power an estimated 33,600 homes annually and offset 161,300 metric tons of CO₂ each year—the equivalent of removing nearly 37,600 cars from the road.
