Cobia Solar Project

Cobia Solar is a solar project being developed by Geenex to power Decatur County. Occupying less than 1% of the county's farmland, this project aims to deliver sustainable energy, boost local employment, generate millions in local tax revenue, and attract businesses to the area.

As technology advances, solar panels are becoming more efficient and affordable, making clean energy accessible to more communities and businesses. With rising global energy demands and the urgent need for sustainable solutions, solar power is positioned to drive economic growth, create jobs, and enhance energy security.

Our project team, who are local to the area, are always happy to answer any questions, address any concerns, or welcome you to a meeting at our project’s local office.
