On April 10, 2025, Vesper Energy held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the official commercial operation of its flagship energy project Hornet Solar. The project is now fully operational. This ribbon cutting ceremony is not only of great significance to Vesper Energy, but also marks the elevation of Texas' position as a leader in solar energy production in the United States.

The Hornet Solar project is located in Sweezh County, Texas, covering an area of over six square miles and containing over 1.36 million modules, making it one of the largest solar projects in the United States. The project will bring over $100 million in new tax revenue to Sweezh County and provide 600 megawatts of AC power.

The Hornet Solar project demonstrates how large-scale energy projects can provide reliable household electricity for American households and businesses Juan Suarez, Co CEO of Vesper Energy, stated. This project not only involves solar panels, but is also committed to reducing energy costs while strengthening our country's energy security. With Hornet Solar fully operational, we are helping a community use self-produced electricity to ensure that businesses and communities have the energy they need for development and growth

Vesper Energy began construction of Hornet Solar in the fall of 2023 and announced in January 2024 that it had secured $590 million in financing to further advance the project. Since its establishment, Hornet Solar has achieved multiple important milestones, including the installation of the one millionth solar panel in December 2024 and the installation of the last module in January 2025.

The scale of Hornet Solar is self-evident -1.36 million solar panels, over six square miles (approximately 10 square kilometers), with a total installed capacity of 600 megawatts. But the real impact lies in the benefits that the project brings to Swisher County: over $100 million in new tax revenue, as well as significant investments in schools, infrastructure, and healthcare EPC Vice President Zach Wald said.

Hornet Solar has brought significant economic benefits to Swisher County and its surrounding areas. The project has created over 300 job opportunities during construction and will contribute new tax revenue to basic public services, including $61 million for the Tulia Independent School District, $25 million for the county government, and $12 million for the Swisher Memorial Hospital District.
