Geronimo Power announced that the 270-MW Blevins Solar Project in Falls County, Texas, is now online.
“The Blevins project reflects Geronimo’s commitment to building energy infrastructure that delivers real value to communities,” said Gemma Smith, Vice President of Operations at Geronimo. “Working alongside partners such as Fujifilm and Bristol Myers Squibb, we’re delivering dependable power and meaningful economic investment while advancing our shared commitment to community-focused, responsibly built clean energy.”
Blevins will service two previously announced power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Fujifilm and Bristol Myers Squibb.
“At Fujifilm, we have a proud history that spans nearly a century, leveraging our excellence in imaging to become a global leader across healthcare, life sciences, and advanced materials. Yet our purpose has always remained the same — to create and support technologies that improve lives and bring the world more smiles,” said Girish Menon, senior director, Environmental Health and Safety, Fujifilm Holdings America Corporation. “This power purchase agreement turns our purpose into action by supporting new, renewable electricity that advances our energy strategy and helps sustain Fujifilm’s broader decarbonization efforts across North America.”
With Blevins now online, Fujifilm announced it is offsetting 100% of its electricity usage in the United States and Canada with renewable energy.
“Blevins reflects how Bristol Myers Squibb is embedding sustainability into the core of our operations, not as a singular initiative, but as a strategic lever that strengthens resilience and advances performance,” said Briana Marvuglio, Executive Director, Environment & Sustainability Enablement. “By investing in renewable energy at scale, we are redefining how environmental stewardship supports long-term business continuity and drives better outcomes for the patients we serve.”
Over the first 20 years of operation, Blevins is expected to generate approximately $33.8 million in direct economic impact, including $32.5 million in new tax revenue for Falls County and the local school and emergency districts. The project supported roughly 400 construction jobs and will sustain three or four full-time operational positions over its lifetime. Above and beyond tax revenue and job creation, Blevins has pledged approximately $1.3 million in charitable giving during the project’s first 20 years of operation.
