Escape Solar and Storage is supplying 70 MW of solar power to Caesars Entertainment and Wynn Las Vegas, and the remaining 115 MW of solar and 400 MWh of storage is going to MGM Resorts International.
“Estuary is proud to serve some of Nevada’s most recognized commercial and public-power customers with economical and reliable renewable energy,” said Jill Daniel, CEO of Estuary Power. “The Escape Project — an unusually complex project delivered ahead of an already accelerated schedule — demonstrates Estuary’s ability to develop, finance, and deliver large-scale energy infrastructure through creativity, agility, and disciplined execution. We are grateful for the trust of our customers and the support of our partners and community in making this project a success.”
“With this new project coming online, we are accelerating progress toward our goal of using 100% renewable electricity domestically by 2030,” said Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and President of MGM. “Together with our Mega Solar Array, the new Escape Solar and Storage Project reflects our focus on scalable, impactful clean-energy solutions. It also demonstrates that our industry can operate more sustainably while delivering long-term cost stability, strengthening our business and supporting a more resilient energy future.”
Escape’s solar arrays were constructed by Bechtel Infrastructure and Power Corporation. Tesla supplied and installed the battery energy storage system. Its substation and certain transmission upgrades were completed by Dashiell Corporation. JinkoSolar supplied TOPCon photovoltaic modules.
