How can growing clean energy grow your community?
Indiana’s cities and counties can take advantage of the economic boom around clean energy and our increasing energy demand while maintaining our Hoosier way of life:
- The only economic development to increase local tax revenue and preserve land for the future while creating jobs
- Allowing Hoosiers to use their land as they see fit while being good neighbors
- A safe choice for counties without the risk of noise, pollution, or glare
- The only land development that can grow food and energy at the same time
By the numbers
- Valued between $5,400 to $13,000 per acre, solar energy increases local tax revenue which can fund roads, public safety, and schools.
- With increased tax revenues, homeowners can benefit by seeing a reduction of 2-11% on their tax bills.
- From 2010-2022, Indiana lost 1.5-2% of its farmland largely to urban sprawl and commercial industry. Instead of losing land, preserve Hoosier farms with clean energy.
- Indiana already employs over 14,000 clean energy installers and maintenance workers. Indiana’s clean energy industry as a whole employs well over 65,000 individuals.
- The process of combining solar energy and farming is called ‘agrivoltaics’ which can include sheep grazing, growing corn and soybeans, or bee keeping.
