The BrightNight Mayfield Solar Project will feature 200 megawatts (MW) of solar generation and a 200-megawatt, 4-hour battery energy storage system (BESS). When completed, the project will span over 1800 acres in Graves County, Kentucky, continuing BrightNight’s rapidly growing renewables portfolio in the state.
The BrightNight Mayfield Solar Project is an industry-leading opportunity to procure clean, renewable power that will meet the region’s energy needs and provide dispatchable renewable power through energy storage systems. The project location is ideal for solar development, with favorable topography for strong solar generation potential, and is situated in a region primed for strategic economic growth via investment in long-term sustainable, utility-grade power solutions.
The Mayfield Solar Project will begin the Kentucky State Siting Permit process in the first quarter of 2024. If approved, interconnection will be through the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), with an earliest commercial operating date of 2027.
