Project Overview

Learn about the Tilton Solar Project in Vermilion County, IL

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

The Tilton Solar Project is a proposed 188MW solar project in Vermilion County, Illinois. The project will generate enough clean, renewable electricity to power more than 30,000 homes. The project will be sited on land leased from private landowners and located near Earthrise Energy’s natural gas plant, the Tilton Energy Center.

Championing Landowner Property Rights

Landowners will retain ownership of the land during and after the lease and may choose to resume farming after the lease expires. Local landowners leasing land for the project will receive long-term rents with fixed escalators, providing a significant amount of new revenue to the local economy and allowing landowners to diversify their income sources.

Protecting our Environment

Tilton Solar will prioritize environmental stewardship. Earthrise Energy will work alongside community and county officials, and in coordination with regulatory agencies, to prevent impacts to environmentally sensitive areas in and near the project.
