About

Sunscape Renewable Energy is a proposed 500-megawatt solar and 500-megawatt battery energy storage project under development in Nueces County. Vesper Energy is developing the project and is responsible for it through construction, operations, and eventually decommissioning, when all equipment is removed. We engage directly with residents, landowners, local officials, emergency services, and local agencies to understand community priorities and maintain open communication. Our goal is to be a responsible, reliable partner that Nueces County can count on through the development, construction, and life of the project.

About Sunscape Renewable Energy

Sunscape Renewable Energy is a proposed 500-megawatt solar and 500-megawatt battery energy storage project developed by Vesper Energy. The project will consist of solar panels and battery storage installed in Nueces County. Operation is anticipated to begin in 2028.

Sunscape is expected to operate for up to 40 years. During that time, the project will create good-paying construction jobs, support full-time skilled operations and positions, provide long-term income for participating landowners, and generate new tax revenue for Nueces County schools, county roads, emergency services, healthcare facilities, and community programs.
