Arevon inaugurates 264-MW Indiana solar projects, boosting regional reliability today

• Arevon cut the ribbon on two Indiana solar projects totaling 264 MWdc in Pike County, adding major daytime capacity and future storage optionality.

Arevon Energy has officially opened two utility-scale solar projects totaling 264 MWdc in Pike County, Indiana—its largest Hoosier State commissioning to date and a meaningful infusion of daytime power for the Midcontinent system. The twin sites cap multi-year cycles of land control, permitting, interconnection studies, and procurement in a market where long-lead grid gear has often set the schedule.

Designed for reliability and grid friendliness, the plants employ high-efficiency bifacial modules on single-axis trackers, with DC/AC ratios aimed at maximising annual yield rather than fleeting peak output. Plant-level controls are configured to deliver reactive power, ride-through during disturbances, and rapid curtailment response—capabilities that smooth integration as solar’s share grows across the Midwest.

The first operating year is about stabilising performance. Arevon’s O&M teams will tune tracker settings and cleaning cycles season by season, manage vegetation to curb soiling, and leverage predictive analytics to catch underperforming strings early. Unified SCADA across both sites enables coordinated responses to utility instructions and optimises production during grid constraints.

Commercially, the projects are structured for bankability through a mix of contracted offtake and market participation. As evening ramps steepen with electrification and data-centre growth, Arevon has preserved the option to retrofit multi-hour batteries at the interconnection points—turning midday electrons into dispatchable capacity that can earn in capacity and ancillary markets while reducing curtailment risk.

Local impact is tangible: construction jobs, supplier spending, and long-term tax revenue, paired with biodiversity measures such as species-rich grasslands and targeted habitat buffers around array edges. Standard traffic management and storm-water controls helped minimise build-phase disruption; decommissioning plans provide clarity for landowners and counties at end of life.

Indiana’s solar map is expanding from scattered projects to a coordinated fleet. By standardising designs and sequencing procurement, Arevon’s Pike County additions demonstrate how disciplined delivery converts policy momentum and corporate demand into real megawatts—and a sturdier grid through the hottest afternoons and the earliest evening peaks.
