According to Official Account @EnergyStorage001, Stellar Renewable Power, a Dallas, Texas-based independent power producer (IPP), will operate a 1GW solar power plant in Navajo County, Arizona, and deploy an accompanying 1GW/4GWh battery storage project, according to foreign media reports.

It was noted that the Navajo County Board of Supervisors approved a Special Use Permit (SUP) for this project at their November 12, 2024 meeting.

For information, global investor KKR Inc. established Stellar Renewable Power in 2021, which focuses on sourcing, developing and operating utility-scale solar farms and energy storage projects.

The PV + storage project is expected to be built approximately 8 miles southwest of the town of Snowflake, Arizona in Navajo County.

Notably, the project may use a 1GW/4GWh battery storage system provided by BYD.

According to planning documents provided by Stellar to the Navajo County Board of Supervisors, the planned supporting deployment of the battery energy storage project will be constructed using BYD's 58 containerized lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery energy storage systems on approximately 40 acres of land.

The equipment shown in planning documents is normally for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate that a vendor has been selected.

Construction of the Red Hills Solar + Storage Project is expected to begin in July 2026 and will be commercially operational by December 2028.
