Investing in the Local Community
More Than a New Source of Energy
Projects like Buffalo Ridge can create lasting economic opportunities for the communities that host them.
Investing in the Local Community
The development and construction of Buffalo Ridge Solar is expected to bring significant private investment to the region while creating opportunities for local workers, contractors and businesses.
Supporting Landowners
Participating landowners can benefit from a stable, long-term source of income while retaining ownership of their land.
Supporting Local Communities
Once operational, the project is expected to generate new revenue that can help support local governments, public services and community priorities.
Responsible Land Stewardship
Solar development provides an opportunity to produce energy while allowing participating agricultural land to rest during the project's operating life. Doral is committed to responsible development and thoughtful stewardship of the land throughout the life of the project.
