K-Junction Solar

Sandhills Energy is joining forces with OPPD by taking ownership of the proposed K-Junction Solar project in York County, Nebraska. The parties entered into an agreement to transfer the project the week of May 27, 2026, aligning with commitments made to the community.

“This agreement provides OPPD a responsible path forward while allowing an experienced Nebraska developer to move ahead with the project,” said Joe Lang, director of Generation Strategy and Origination at OPPD.

OPPD pursued K-Junction Solar in 2023 after acquiring rights from EDF Renewables. At the time, the project held strong potential to connect up to 310 megawatts of solar and battery storage capacity to the grid, while generating $610 million in net economic development and $30 million in local tax revenue for the community.

“Even though OPPD is no longer directly developing this project, we look forward to a productive relationship with Sandhills Energy as their work progresses and will continue to support the project’s success,” Lang said.
