Beavertail Solar, LLC is a proposed solar project located in Henry County, MO, with the capacity to power more than 60,000 Missouri homes. Anticipated to contribute $1 million or more each year in new revenue to Henry County, the Beavertail Solar project will provide significant new funding streams to local taxing districts, while diversifying local landowners’ income and preserving agricultural land for future generations. The Beavertail Solar project will be located on land adjacent to the former coal powered Montrose Station coal fired power plant, ushering in a new age of domestic energy production in the United States.
Beavertail Solar expects to provide stable income diversification for local landowners and bring a new era of investment into the region’s agricultural economy. Those landowners who choose to host the project will experience a stable source of new income, helping to sustain family farms, regardless of commodity prices. Allowing farmland to rest while a solar project utilizes the land is a great way to preserve the precious soil for future generations. The permanent ground cover planted at the project site will improve the soil and groundwater quality. In addition to occupying farmland, the project will also make use of land adjacent to the former Montrose Coal plant, bringing new value and a new form of energy to the immediate area. At the end of the project’s life, the project will be decommissioned and infrastructure removed at the operator’s expense, and land will be available to the next generation of farmers.
The Beavertail Solar Project will be a significant investment in Henry County’s economy, helping to support the community’s longevity through the next generation. The project will contribute $1 million or more annually to Henry County’s local taxing districts to support funding needs for public education, local infrastructure, first responders, and other essential services in the community.
The project’s multi-million dollar investment will boost the region’s workforce development and boost the local economy through the purchase of goods and services. Construction activity will stimulate the local economy and provide hundreds of jobs. Once Beavertail Solar is in operation, it will support several permanent jobs in the community.
