Solar facility to generate power for Huntsville Utilities
The new facility–located off Wall Triana Highway south of Sixth Street–will be operated by Eurus Energy, who also moderates the 30-megawatt solar facility at Toyota Alabama in Madison County.
Huntsville utilities said construction is expected to begin this summer, with completion planned by fall of 2027.
“The goal for this project is for Huntsville Utilities to be able to purchase the generated solar energy at a price that is cheaper than TVA rates. This will benefit Huntsville Utilities customers. Lowering Huntsville Utilities electric costs reduces pressure on customer rates and helps put off future electric rate modifications.”
