MGM Resorts International has signed a power purchase agreement with Escape Solar LLC that will more than double its access to clean solar electricity.
The agreement will help propel the Company closer to its goal of procuring 100% renewable electricity in North America by 2030. MGM Resorts currently uses solar power for 90% of the total daytime needs at 11 of its iconic Las Vegas Strip properties. This visionary 25-year compact will amplify the Company’s renewable energy capabilities and extend production to cover 100% of those properties.
The Escape Solar and Storage project, which will be operated by Estuary Power, is due for construction in Lincoln County, Nevada. It will combine a 115 megawatt (MW) solar facility with a state-of-the-art 100 MW/400 MWh battery storage system. The facility will produce an amount of renewable electricity equivalent to the annual power usage of more than 28,000 average U.S. homes. Operations are expected to kick off in early 2026, marking a significant milestone in MGM Resorts’ journey to sustainability leadership.
“This agreement is the next step toward the achievement of our climate goals. We have our eyes on meeting our science-based targets and goal of sourcing 100% of our electricity in North America from renewable sources by 2030,” said Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and president at MGM Resorts.
He continued: “As we continue the journey toward greater sustainability, we remain dedicated to finding new ways to reduce our carbon footprint, conserve resources and inspire others to join in building a more sustainable world for generations to come.”
