Solana’s commitment to Biodiversity
A new wash for birds to stop and drink.
At our Solana plant in Arizona, we continue to control the flora and fauna of the natural wash area located north of our solar plant. We annually send approximately 477-acre feet of water to the Bull Durham Wash after the nearby farmland changed to industrial use. By doing so, many birds are now stopping in this wash while minimizing the impact of industrial farmland located nearby.
Our Commitment:
We are dedicated to, taking proactive steps to preserve and protect local ecosystems while responsibly generating clean energy.
