Solar + Storage in Indiana
Crossvine project
AES Indiana’s Crossvine is a planned solar and battery energy storage system facility under construction in Dubois County, Indiana. The project will create jobs, build community partnerships, generate revenue for local governments and schools, and protect the environment.
85 MWac solar + 85 MWac battery energy storage planned capacity
Enough clean energy to power the equivalent of 14,250 homes annually
Located in
Dubois County, IN
Our clean energy commitment
We believe in being a good neighbor, ensuring responsible clean energy development that creates long-term value and positive impact for both the environment and local communities without burdening existing infrastructure.
Economic and environmental benefits
The project is expected to generate substantial economic and environmental benefits for local communities and the region.
Jobs
- Supports the creation of 237 new local jobs during peak construction in Dubois County
Supports the creation of 15 new long-term jobs throughout the project's operating lifespan
Local Revenue
- Over $62.9 million in total local taxes for all taxing districts over the life of the project
- Over $21.5 million in new local earnings during construction for Dubois County
Over $3.1 million in new local long-term output for Dubois County annually
Environmental
- Solar projects can give land time to rest from intensive agricultural use, which may help improve soil health, reduce erosion, and allow native vegetation and pollinator habitats to become reestablished over time
- When responsibly developed, solar projects can deliver environmental benefits beyond clean energy, including supporting pollinator habitats, improving soil health, and reducing stormwater runoff
- Solar-plus-storage projects provide clean energy during the day and store excess power for use during periods of high demand, helping improve grid reliability without adding pollutants into the atmosphere
Project details
- Sited on approximately 437 acres of privately owned land
- AES Indiana will be the long-term owner and operator of the facility
- At the end of the project's life, a decommissioning plan allows for the land to return to agricultural use or other uses consistent with land-use policies at the time
