About

Bradford Solar is a 100.5-megawatt solar project proposed on privately owned land in Bradford County. Vesper Energy is developing the project and will be responsible for it through construction, operations, and eventually decommissioning, when all equipment is removed, and the land is returned to its prior use. We engage early with residents, landowners, and local officials to understand community priorities, because the decisions made now shape how this project operates for the next 40 years.

About Bradford Energy Project

Bradford Solar is a 100.5-megawatt (MW) solar project developed by Vesper Energy. The project will consist of solar panels installed on roughly 800 acres of privately owned land in Bradford County. Commercial operation could be as soon as 2027.

Bradford Solar is expected to operate for up to 40 years. During that time, the project will create short-term construction jobs, support ongoing local employment, and generate millions in long-term tax revenue for the county and local municipalities.

American-made energy delivered to the regional grid to keep energy prices stable.

Estimated local and state tax revenue generated over the life of the project.

Additional revenue for Towanda and Troy Area School Districts over the life of Bradford Solar.

Estimated jobs during the 12–18 month construction period.

Why solar here?

Strong Local Solar Resource

Bradford Township has favorable solar conditions for efficient energy generation.

Suitable Land Characteristics

The proposed site allows for solar and existing land uses to coexist: farming and grazing can continue and around the project footprint.

Transmission Access

Proximity to transmission infrastructure enables efficient energy delivery.

Long-Term Tax Benefits

The project provides stable, predictable tax contributions for decades.

Our Commitment to the Community

Partner with us
Local Economic
Support

We prioritize hiring local workers and working with regional contractors and suppliers whenever possible.

Community
Investment

The Community Giving Program provides ongoing financial support to local schools, first responders, nonprofits, and community groups.

Transparent
Communication

We provide project updates, hold public meetings, and maintain open communication throughout development, construction, and operations.

Land
Stewardship

The land leased for Bradford Solar remains productive. Solar panels coexist with farming – grazing continues, and the land supports the families who own it. When the project ends, all equipment will be removed under a financial bond, and the land will be fully restored. Unlike permanent development such as housing or commercial construction, the land is able to return to its prior use.

Vesper Energy develops, owns, and operates solar and energy storage projects across the United States. The company’s team has collectively delivered more than 10 gigawatts of renewable energy projects, including Hornet Solar in Swisher County, Texas, which has been delivering power, supporting local employment, and generating property tax revenue for its host community since coming online.

Bradford Solar would follow that same model: built here, operated here, accountable here.
