• With 538.7 MW of capacity, the facility can meet the annual energy needs of approximately 350,000 homes and businesses.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Terra-Gen, one of the largest independent, integrated renewable energy producers in the United States, jointly owned by Masdar and Igneo Infrastructure Partners, celebrated the completion of its $950 million Lockhart Solar and Storage project in San Bernardino County, California.

The milestone was commemorated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Hinkley facility, bringing together company employees, local and state officials, commercial lenders, project partners and customers.

“Today is about recognizing the people and partnerships that brought Lockhart to life and celebrating what this project means for the region,” said John O’Connor, chief executive officer at Terra-Gen. “Solar is one of the most economical sources of new electricity, and storage extends its value by making that energy available when it’s needed most. At the scale of our Lockhart facility, that combination can make a meaningful difference for California’s growing electricity needs.”

The Lockhart complex includes more than 925,000 solar modules and 248 battery enclosures. Its 365 megawatts (MW) of solar generation and 173.7 MW of battery storage generate enough electricity to meet the annual needs of approximately 350,000 homes and businesses.

Engineering and construction of the solar and storage complex created more than 1,000 on-site jobs with 880,000 hours worked over four years.

The project’s economic benefits will extend beyond construction, as it’s expected the facility will generate more than $40 million in property tax revenue over its operating life, along with additional contributions and benefits to the local community.

“We are grateful for our employees and contractors whose hard work and dedication were instrumental in bringing the facility into operation,” said Simon Day, vice president and head of solar development at Terra-Gen. “Their commitment to delivering the project on schedule and on budget while maintaining a strong focus on safety made this milestone possible.”

Cupertino Electric served as the balance-of-plant engineering, procurement and construction contractor, while EPC Services served as the high-voltage contractor for the project. Solar modules were supplied by First Solar and tracking systems by Nextpower. The Lockhart facility has a combination of offtake agreements with corporate buyers and long-term power purchase agreements with California load-serving entities.
