Arevon Energy marks 10 years of operations at five California solar projects totaling 544 megawatts
On November 2, 2026, Scottsdale, Arizona-based Arevon Energy marked a decade of continuous operations at five California solar projects: Henrietta Solar, Kingbird A Solar, Kingbird B Solar, Nicolis Solar, and Stateline Solar. Together, the projects span Southern California’s Kern, Kings, and San Bernardino counties and represent a combined capacity of 544 megawatts.
Five California solar projects reach decade of operations
All five projects have been delivering electricity to California communities since 2016. Ten full years of continuous output — no gaps, no shutdowns — across a combined footprint of 544 megawatts of direct-current capacity.
The milestone wasn’t limited to California. Arevon also marked 10 years of operations at its 344 MWdc Moapa Solar Project in Clark County, Nevada, celebrating that anniversary with project stakeholders at a dedicated event in September, ahead of the California announcement.
Arevon operates more than 4 gigawatts of solar and energy storage capacity in the state, placing it among California’s leading developers in that sector.
Energy output and environmental impact over the decade
The numbers behind a decade of solar operations are hard to ignore. Collectively, the five California projects generate enough electricity to power more than 158,000 homes every year, while avoiding an estimated 492,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually — the kind of offset that compounds significantly over a 10-year run.
Water conservation adds another dimension. The projects conserve nearly 12 billion gallons of water per year, which carries real weight in a state that keeps facing drought conditions alongside rising electricity demand. Solar generation bypasses the water-intensive cooling processes that conventional power plants require. That figure isn’t a talking point — it’s a genuine operational advantage. These performance numbers reflect sustained output across the full decade, not a single-year snapshot or a projected estimate.
Local economic contributions from the projects
The five projects sit across Kern, Kings, and San Bernardino counties, and their economic footprint has been measurable. Over the life of the projects, they’ve generated more than $44 million in cumulative property tax payments — money going directly to local governments and the services they fund, including schools, infrastructure, and public safety.
Construction activity created nearly 600 jobs. Those positions are temporary by nature, but they represent genuine economic activity during the build phase. Arevon describes the projects as a significant capital investment with benefits that have continued well beyond construction.
“Reaching the 10-year mark at these California solar projects is a significant milestone and a testament to the teams who have operated them safely and reliably,” said Justin Johnson, Arevon’s Chief Executive Officer. “For the past decade, these projects have supported California’s energy needs while delivering meaningful economic and environmental benefits to the communities where we operate.”
Arevon’s broader California portfolio and recent activity
The five projects celebrating their decade anniversary are part of a much larger California presence. Arevon operates more than 4 gigawatts of solar and energy storage capacity in the state, placing it among California’s leading developers in that sector.
Recent operational milestones span a range of projects: the Nighthawk Energy Storage Project, the two-phase Eland Solar-plus-Storage Project, the Peregrine Energy Storage Project, the Vikings Solar-plus-Storage Project, and the Condor Energy Storage Project. A 250 MW Cormorant Energy Storage Project is currently under construction in Daly City.
Several have drawn national recognition. Condor received Proximo’s North America Storage Deal of the Year Award. Vikings earned IJGlobal’s Renewables Deal of the Year – Energy Storage Award and a Proximo North American Deals of the Year Award. Eland received highly commended recognition in the 2026 Reuters Events Clean Power Generation Award, and both Eland and Nighthawk are finalists in S&P Global Platts’ 2026 Global Energy Awards. Arevon also ranked No. 1 developer in California on Solar Power World’s 2026 Top Solar Contractors List.
A decade of solar in Southern California, by the numbers
Ten years is a meaningful threshold for any infrastructure project — long enough to assess whether a development actually delivered what it promised in terms of power output, community impact, and operational reliability.
For these five California projects, the record holds up. They’ve collectively powered over 158,000 homes per year, kept nearly half a million metric tons of CO₂ out of the atmosphere annually, conserved close to 12 billion gallons of water each year, and contributed more than $44 million in property taxes to local communities. Construction supported nearly 600 jobs along the way.
Arevon operates more than 6.3 gigawatts of solar and energy storage across 18 states, with 370 megawatts currently under construction and an active development pipeline. The California projects that just hit their 10-year mark represent an early chapter in that story — one the company is clearly looking to build on.
