Watertown Case Study

Snapshot

The Watertown Solar Project is a 150 MWac utility-scale solar facility located in Michigan within the MISO market. Construction began in October 2025 and is expected to reach commercial operations in April 2027. In its first year, the project will generate approximately 263,827 MWh of clean electricity—enough to power an estimated 25,126 Michigan homes annually—while creating 150 construction jobs and delivering long-term value to the local community.

How Solar Energy Works

What's the project impact?

Pineview Solar will have a significant economic impact on the local community, with approximately $3 million in local property tax revenues over the next two decades. The project will also contribute to Georgia's clean energy goals and reduce the environmental impact of the state's energy supply.

Community Commitments

Watertown is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 148,389 lbs per year, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable environment based on the carbon intensity of Michigan's energy grid.

Good for the Community

Watertown Solar will employ at least 150 workers on-site at its peak, providing a meaningful boost to the local economy.

Good for Sanilac County

Linea Energy is contributing to multiple local community organizations in 2026, with plans to continue annual charitable works for the lifetime of the project.

Good for the Environment

Watertown Solar is an important part of Linea's commitment to reliable and sustainable sources of energy.
As part of it's design, Watertown creates pollinator habitat and uses native wildflowers increasing biodiversity on the land.

Good for Michigan

Michigan has ambitious goals to reach 50% renewable energy by 2030. Projects like Watertown are an important piece to the states goals.
