Help Support Rancho Viejo Solar!​
CALL TO ACTION

Help Support Rancho Viejo Solar!

AES’ Rancho Viejo Solar project is expected to go before the Santa Fe County Board of County Commissioners in the next several weeks. It was approved by the Santa Fe County Planning Commission with an overwhelming 6-1 vote!

The state-of-the-art, 96 megawatt (MW) solar and 48 MW battery energy storage project, will feature the most advanced safety technology available and will produce enough energy to power Santa Fe’s entire residential electricity load annually. The project will also offset the equivalent of 120,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year. But that’s not all! Rancho Viejo Solar is estimated to create more than 200 jobs during peak construction, generate $10 million in tax revenue and $4 million in gross receipts taxes over the life of the project to our local community.

This project is a win-win for the Santa Fe community. Rancho Viejo Solar will help provide a boost to our local economy, delivering compelling economic benefits to the community for decades to come, while helping Santa Fe lead the way in meeting New Mexico’s renewable energy goals over the life of the project. AES is committed to being a part of the long-time success of the Santa Fe community. They have a strong reputation as a good neighbor, community partner, and will add value to the local business community right away.

The Rancho Viejo project enjoys broad support in the Santa Fe community. Local businesses and Chamber members can help by showing support for the Rancho Viejo Solar project. We need the business community to help by writing letters to our local elected officials, or by joining us for the Board of County Commissioners hearing, and generally, helping us to spread the word in the community.

Please reach out and let us know if you’re willing to lend your name to the list of Rancho Viejo Solar supporters! You can contact us by emailing: [email protected].
