Hornet Solar is a 600-megawatt solar project on 3,900 acres of privately owned land in Swisher County, Texas. This project began construction in the Fall of 2023 and could be operational as soon as January of 2025. The project will have the potential to provide taxpayers, school districts, hospitals, and the local government with reliable economic benefits for years to come.
With Texas' all-in energy production model, every type of energy generated can help Texas remain an energy leader with a strong, reliable grid. Solar generation plays a vital role in the state's energy landscape. Harnessing the abundant sunlight allows Texas to produce solar power, contributing to the energy mix when demand for energy is high, thereby enhancing stability and reducing the opportunity for grid failure. Hornet Solar will have the capacity to power 160,000 Texas homes.
Hornet Solar is projected to contribute more than $100 million in new tax revenue to Swisher County over the life of the project without raising taxes. Projected tax benefits include $61.2 million to the Tulia Independent School District, $25.7 million to Swisher County, and $11.9 million to the Swisher County Memorial Hospital.
It is projected that Swisher County can expect tax revenue from Hornet Solar to begin once construction is complete and the project is operational.
