Geronimo Power announced commercial operations at the Dodson Creek Solar Project in Highland County, Ohio on April 3, 2026. Dodson Creek will deliver 117 MW within the PJM market and is expected to generate an estimated $49 million in direct economic benefit for the local community.
Geronimo says its total Ohio operating portfolio now equals 675 MW, representing over $240 million in projected economic benefit; construction peaked at 125 workers. The project uses First Solar Series 7 modules (Nasdaq: FSLR). Dodson Creek is expected to produce about $21 million in tax revenue over 20 years and Geronimo pledged $585,000 to local charities.
FSLR is down 2.06%. Key solar peer NXT appears in the momentum scanner and is also moving down, while broader peers show mixed moves with both gains and losses, indicating a sector-driven but uneven backdrop.
Recent positive or strategic FSLR news has often coincided with flat or negative next-day moves, suggesting a tendency toward cautious price reactions.
Over the last few months, FSLR highlighted several growth and impact milestones. On Feb 24, 2026, it reported strong 2025 results and detailed 2026 guidance, yet the stock fell over the next day. That same day, a perovskite patent license agreement underscored R&D investment of over $2 billion. Earlier, an economic impact study on Feb 23 and a pro-solar opinion poll on Feb 4 emphasized job creation, GDP contribution, and support for American-made solar. Today’s Ohio project news fits this theme of emphasizing long-term economic and domestic-manufacturing benefits.
This announcement underscores continued deployment of First Solar’s Series 7 technology into utility-scale projects. The Dodson Creek Solar Project will deliver 117 MW in the PJM market and is projected to generate $49 million in local economic benefit and about $21 million in tax revenue over 20 years. It also contributes to Geronimo’s 675 MW Ohio portfolio. Investors may track how such module supply wins translate into future volumes, plant utilization, and recurring demand for American-made solar components.

117 MW PJM project located in Highland County
MINNEAPOLIS, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Geronimo Power (Geronimo) announced today the start of commercial operations at its Dodson Creek Solar Project (Dodson Creek) in Highland County, Ohio. Located within the PJM market, Dodson will deliver 117 megawatts (MW) of power and generate an estimated $49 million in direct economic benefit for the local community.

“Together with our community members and project partners, we’re proud to expand our commitment to Ohio,” stated Andy Cukurs, Chief Operations Officer for Geronimo Power. “With Dodson Creek, our total Ohio operating portfolio has reached 675 MW – that equates to over $240 million in economic benefit to local and state residents throughout our portfolio’s operating life.”
During construction, Dodson Creek employed 125 construction workers at its peak. The project was constructed by Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) partner, Kiewit Power Constructors Co.
“We are pleased that the Dodson Creek Solar Project is now in commercial operation, reflecting our strong partnership with Geronimo Power and the Highland County community,” said Brian Koller, Vice President of Kiewit Power Constructors Co. “Kiewit is proud to have successfully delivered this project and to support Ohio’s clean energy future and long-term economic growth.”
Dodson Creek utilizes Series 7 modules developed and produced by First Solar, Inc (Nasdaq: FSLR), which operates a major manufacturing and R&D hub in nearby Perrysburg, Ohio.
“We’re proud that our Series 7 technology is helping power the Dodson Creek Solar Project,” said Dr. Mounir El Asmar, First Solar’s Head of Strategic Accounts. “This milestone reflects the strength of our partnership with Geronimo Power and underscores how genuinely American solar technology can drive economic growth while supporting the nation’s need for affordable energy.”
Over the first 20 years of operation, Dodson Creek is anticipated to produce approximately $21 million in new tax revenue for Highland County and local townships, school districts and emergency (fire/EMS/mental health) districts.
Additionally, Geronimo announced a pledge to contribute $585,000 to Highland County charities and organizations through a dedicated charitable fund. These operating project charitable funds are unique to Geronimo and exemplify how they commit to being good neighbors within the communities in which their projects are built.
