Solar powers the Golden State
Energizing California and enriching its agricultural legacy
As a leading renewable energy developer, operator, and owner in the U.S., EDPR NA's solar energy projects work in collaboration with surrounding communities and support agricultural land by bringing economic and environmental value to farmers, landowners, and community members.
A renewable energy leader in California
For more than a decade, EDPR NA has been operational in California and harnessed the power of the sun to generate reliable, affordable energy for surrounding communities, landowners, and farmers.

Solar energy strengthens local Californian economies
Our renewable energy projects not only provide emission-free clean energy to communities but also offer a way to let agricultural land rest while continuing to generate revenue. EDPR NA’s solar parks are among the top taxpaying entities in the county or city where we operate, providing critical funding for services relied upon by local residents.
