n January 11th, Rosendin and Arevon, a leading
renewable energy company, announced the
O completion of the Townsite Solar + Storage
facility in Boulder City, Nevada.. Offtakers and local
politicians helped local IBEW electrical workers and
company representatives celebrate the occasion with a
ribbon-cutting and media tour.

The new Townsite Solar + Storage facility features
an innovative solar system and Tesla battery energy PROJECT PROFILES
storage system (BESS). The new facility, located 20
miles south of Las Vegas, will generate more than
500,000 MWh per year of renewable energy, enough to
power 60,000 homes annually, and will serve two local
municipalities and an electric cooperative, avoiding
400,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

“Arevon is grateful to everyone who has worked
so hard to complete Townsite Solar + Storage and
we are thrilled that the local community can now
benefit from this new clean energy source,” said
Justin Johnson, Chief Operating Officer of Arevon.
“The infrastructure required to provide electricity to
our homes and businesses reflects one of the largest
labor and capital investments in human history.
Transitioning to renewables is a similarly massive
undertaking. We applaud Nevada’s efforts to boost
clean energy and develop new opportunities for
companies focused on building a brighter future.”
“At Rosendin, we value strong relationships with
trade partners like Arevon and the IBEW. We wish
to thank every individual craft worker for their
hard work and dedication in completing Nevada’s
newest solar energy and battery storage system,”
said David Lincoln, Rosendin’s Renewable Energy
Group SVP. “The federal government’s support to
drive Zero-Carbon Energy production by 2035 will
significantly accelerate opportunities for innovation
and future collaborations across the country.”
The 1,053-acre Townsite Solar + Storage site
™
incorporates 528,084 First Solar’s Series 6 photovoltaic
(PV) modules for a nameplate capacity of 232 MW
DC/180 MW AC. It also has a 90 MWac energy storage
facility that uses Tesla Megapack. Power generated
on-site will be distributed underground to a 230kV
substation and then via overhead generation tie-line
to the Mead Substation just outside Boulder City.

Since the Townsite project began construction
in November 2020, the U.S. Secretary of Energy,
Jennifer M. Granholm, visited and the project was
featured in a video produced by the Office of the
White House. During construction, hundreds of clean
energy union jobs were created with IBEW Local
357, providing a stable and reliable workforce.
