The Stargazer Solar Project is expected to be constructed in McKean County, Pennsylvania, several miles south of Smethport on privately owned land.
RWE will own, build, and operate the project from start to finish, meaning RWE will maintain responsibility and ownership of the solar project over the course of its entire lifespan. From construction to decommission, the responsibility stays in one set of hands.
RWE is committed to being a respectful community partner.
