Powering the Future: Onyx Renewables Unveils Monumental 13 MW Solar Array at Fort Johnson

Onyx Renewables, a pioneering force in sustainable energy, has proudly announced the monumental completion of its 13-megawatt (MW) solar energy project at Fort Johnson, Louisiana. This isn't just another solar farm; it's a beacon of energy independence and a testament to the Department of Defense's commitment to a greener, more resilient future.

Now fully operational and seamlessly integrated into the grid, this installation proudly claims the title of the largest DoD-owned, on-grid solar project in the entire United States, setting a new benchmark for military energy innovation.

The successful activation of this sprawling solar array marks a pivotal moment for Fort Johnson, significantly bolstering its energy security and operational resilience.

By harnessing the sun's power, the installation dramatically reduces the base's reliance on traditional energy sources, simultaneously lowering long-term energy costs and minimizing its carbon footprint. This strategic move directly supports the DoD’s ambitious goals for energy independence and environmental stewardship, ensuring that our nation's defense infrastructure is robust, efficient, and sustainable for generations to come.

Financing for this transformative project was facilitated through the innovative Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds (QECBs) program, a testament to collaborative vision and strategic investment in renewable infrastructure.

The project’s success is a direct result of strong partnerships between Onyx Renewables, Fort Johnson leadership, Louisiana Economic Development, the Department of Defense, and the Louisiana State Bond Commission, all united by a shared commitment to advance clean energy solutions for critical national assets.

As the solar panels silently convert sunlight into a steady stream of clean electricity, Fort Johnson exemplifies how military installations can lead the charge in adopting renewable energy.

This project not only powers critical operations but also serves as a powerful symbol of progress, demonstrating that large-scale renewable energy integration is not only feasible but essential for national security and environmental well-being. Onyx Renewables continues to pave the way for a brighter, more sustainable energy landscape, one megawatt at a time.
