Project Overview
Coyote Creek Agrivoltaic Ranch, located on the Barton Ranch in unincorporated Sacramento County, California, combines livestock grazing with clean energy production. This hybrid “agrivoltaic” approach provides lasting community benefits while maintaining the Ranch’s rich agricultural traditions. Since its public introduction in 2021, the project has undertaken engineering and diligence efforts that further ensure that the project is constructed in a manner that respects the environmental, cultural, and agricultural heritage of the landscape for generations to come.
A Vital Step Toward a Zero-Carbon Future
Coyote Creek Agrivoltaic Ranch is a cornerstone of California’s clean energy strategy, helping SMUD and Sacramento County achieve their ambitious zero-carbon goals. Our project will:
Be an Emissions Free and Carbon Free Technology
- The project will produce enough clean energy to power approximately 44,000 homes.
- The project will displace roughly 205,000 metric tons of carbon emissions each year, the equivalent of taking over 79,000 cars off the road.
Support Grid Stability
- Our technology enhances grid reliability, ensuring consistent power supply even during high demand or extreme weather.
- The project will construct new transmission infrastructure that will help improve grid resiliency.
Meet Growing Energy Needs
- Sacramento is growing, and its energy needs are growing, too. With clean energy production equivalent to powering thousands of homes, we’re making renewable energy accessible for everyone.
Pave the Way for California Reaching its Clean Energy Goals
- By 2030, utilities will be required to procure half of their electricity from renewable sources.
- The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD)’s Clean Energy Vision includes a goal to reach zero carbon emissions by 2030, the most ambitious goal of any large utility in the country.
