Jackson County Solar Farm
JACKSON COUNTY, MI – The Jackson County Solar Project, a 125-megawatt collection of several fields of panels across different properties, is nearing completion.
The project spans 1,400 acres of land split into eight areas along Callahan Road from West Michigan Avenue to Devereaux Road in Parma Township near Jackson County’s western border with Calhoun County.
Contractors were hard at work last week to bring the sprawling project to life. The clustered rows of arrays are situated on multiple properties that are spread across former farmland in western Jackson County, with wetlands set aside for preservation as habitats for native animals like the endangered Eastern massasauga rattlesnake.
Once completed, the solar farm will generate enough electricity to power more than 33,000 homes while eliminating 161,300 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
Construction began in early 2024 with site preparation and environmental considerations required by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).
