Public Invited to Open House on Blue Jeans Solar Project

KNOX COUNTY, Ind. (We Are Knox County) - The public is invited to learn more about plans for a large-scale solar project in Knox County.

An open house for the Blue Jeans Solar Project will be held Thursday, October 9, giving residents a chance to meet with developers and ask questions about what’s being proposed.

The event will take place at the Blue Jeans Center, located at 1242 Main Street in Monroe City, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

According to the project’s website, the Blue Jeans Solar Project will cover about 1,200 acres of land and include solar panel arrays, an operations and maintenance building, inverters, and access roads.

The project is being developed by Arevon, a renewable energy company headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The website does not specify where the solar farm will be located but says the power generated will be transmitted to the Hoosier Energy Ratts Substation interconnection point, which is in Pike County.

Arevon recently completed the Ratts 1 Solar Project in Pike County.

WAKC News Now has reached out to Blue Jeans Solar for more information about the project and will provide an update once we hear back.
