Jobs. Revenues. Energy.

Our solar project will provide vital benefits to the residents and businesses of Fort Bend County – Especially vital during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused so many economic hardships. From jobs to tax revenues to new energy sources, Fighting Jays Solar is good for business.

Good for Fort Bend County

The project will generate increased county and local tax revenues to fund critical infrastructure of Fort Bend County and other essential community services. The project is estimated to contribute with tax revenues of $43 million over the next 35 years of operation.

Good for Texas

With an estimated 1,000 people moving to Texas every day, demand on the state’s energy grid has never been greater. In fact, electricity production in the state has grown 5% over the past 5 years – even as nationwide production has fallen. Fighting Jays Solar is being constructed to help meet the increased demands on electricity.

Good for America

By diversifying its energy portfolio to include solar – one of the cleanest, most abundant, reliable and low-cost energy sources in the world – Texas is helping to reduce peak demand stress on the state’s power grid, while helping to decrease the country’s reliance on foreign sources of energy.

By supporting the Fighting Jays Solar project, you broadcast Fort Bend County’s willingness to attract new investment to the area, meanwhile you support the Nation’s transition to a brighter tomorrow without fossil fuels.
