Arevon Marks Decade of Solar Power on Moapa Reservation

The facility generates electricity for over 53,000 homes annually while avoiding 325,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Beyond its environmental impact, the plant saves nearly 6.9 billion gallons of water each year compared to traditional power generation, a critical metric for the desert region. The partnership includes direct landowner payments to the Tribe and ongoing property tax contributions that bolster local public services.

During a September 26 celebration attended by tribal leaders and U.S. Congressman Steven Horsford, stakeholders highlighted the project as a catalyst for future development. Arevon currently plans three additional solar and battery storage projects on the Reservation—the Moapa, Eagle Shadow Mountain, and Yahthumb expansions—aiming to add significant storage capacity by 2031. These upcoming additions are designed to stabilize the grid by dispatching stored energy during periods of peak demand, further cementing the long-term collaboration between the developer and the Moapa Band of Paiutes.
