Construction is officially underway on the Boot Hill Solar Project. Set to be the largest in Kansas, this 150-megawatt solar facility near Dodge City will feature nearly 300,000 solar panels on a single-axis tracking system. It is expected to generate 400,000 megawatt-hours annually, which is enough to power more than 38,000 Kansas homes.
The Boot Hill Solar Project will provide more than $4 million to Ford County during its first 10 years of operation and more than $1.5 million in local taxes every subsequent year it operates. In total, it is expected the project will contribute more than $50 million in direct payments to Ford County. The Boot Hill Solar Project will also provide more than $2 million to USD 443 during the first 10 years of operation, several permanent jobs, patrons for local business, and payments to participating landowners.
Alluvial Power, the project’s developer will own and operate the solar facility, but Sunflower and our member utilities will receive 100% of the output from the project.
