The Nevada sun can now fully power MGM Resorts properties — even at most peak daytime hours.
Solar energy is a focal point of the casino giant’s steps toward powering all of its U.S. properties with renewable electricity by 2030. The company’s capacity greatly increased after a power-purchase agreement with the Escape Solar and Storage Project in Lincoln County, about 85 miles northeast of Las Vegas near Mesquite.
“The new Escape Solar and Storage Project reflects our focus on scalable, impactful clean-energy solutions,” said Bill Hornbuckle, MGM’s CEO and president, in a statement. “It also demonstrates that our industry can operate more sustainably while delivering long-term cost stability, strengthening our business and supporting a more resilient energy future.”
