Matrix Renewables, SOLV Energy Celebrate Completion of 284 MW Solar Project

Independent power producer Matrix Renewables and EPC contractor SOLV Energy marked the completion of the Stillhouse Solar project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Rogers, Texas.

The new 284 Megawatt utility-scale solar facility will deliver reliable, clean energy to the Texas grid, helping meet the state's growing power demand while advancing its commitment to sustainability.

The event brought together local officials, partners, and community members for a celebration and site tours at the Bell County project site.

Representing $370 million in private investment and the creation of over 320 construction jobs, Stillhouse Solar underscores the economic and environmental value of renewable energy projects across Texas.

"The completion of the Stillhouse Solar marks an exciting milestone for both Matrix Renewables and the Bell County community," said Cindy Tindell, Managing Director and Head of U.S. for Matrix Renewables. "Texas continues to be a leader in clean, domestic renewable energy, and projects like Stillhouse demonstrate how clean power can strengthen local economies while advancing our shared sustainability goals."

SOLV Energy provided engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for the solar field, substation, and SCADA systems, and will continue long-term operations and maintenance.

"Stillhouse supports Texas' growing energy needs and reflects our commitment to community investment and the hard work of our teams," said Kevin Deters, Chief Operating Officer at SOLV Energy.

The project contributes new renewable capacity to the ERCOT grid, generating long-term tax revenue and local income while reinforcing Texas' position as the nation's leader in utility-scale solar development.
