A renewable energy company plans to develop more than 2,000 acres near Phoenix for a utility solar energy project set to generate energy for around 70,000 Arizona homes.<\/p>\n

A subsidiary of California-based Avantus Clean Energy expects to begin construction in the fall of 2026 on its Pinyon Solar Project, which will include solar technology and battery storage facilities.<\/p>\n

The project will be located south of State Route 238, west of State Route 347 and north of Interstate 8.<\/p>\n

Avantus expects construction to take 18 months and end in early 2028.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe selected this location to minimize impacts both on the surrounding environment and local communities,\u201d said Colin Mann, director of permitting, in a statement shared with Phoenix Business Journal.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne important factor is the site\u2019s proximity to the nearby Pinal West Substation, where the project can connect to Arizona\u2019s grid without extensive infrastructure buildout.\u201d<\/p>\n
