City of Kearney

The Kearney Solar Farm covers 54 acres with over 22,464 solar modules.

The system generates 5.8 megawatts (AC) of renewable energy, which is about 5 percent of the city’s electrical demand.

The $11 million project is a partnership between the city of Kearney, Nebraska Public Power District, and Chicago-based SoCore Energy.

SoCore sells energy to Nebraska Public Power District, which in turn sells it to customers in the area. The University of Nebraska at Kearney has already contracted for half of the farm’s solar power.
