Nexamp launches first 'community driven community solar' project in Illinois

  • June 16, 2025
This week, Nexamp and Trajectory Energy Partners celebrated the opening of Blue Grama Solar together. This is a 4.7 megawatt community solar farm, marking an important step in Illinois' transition to clean energy. As the first community driven community solar (CDCS) project under the Illinois Sparkle Program, Blue Gamma Solar located in Gelsburg, Illinois prioritizes community participation and local interests, setting a new benchmark for renewable energy development.

The Blue Grama solar project has over 8000 solar panels, generating enough electricity to meet the annual electricity needs of over 700 households in Illinois. The CDCS project aims to bring tangible benefits to the local community, including job creation, increased regional investment, and sustained participation in the clean energy economy, all thanks to long-term partnerships with leaders in the Gelsburg and Knox County regions.

This project demonstrates how solar energy can benefit everyone, "said Jessica Collingsworth, Central Policy Director at Nexamp. Blue Gamma Solar places community needs at the core of the development process, bringing not only clean energy but also ownership, opportunity, and pride. We are honored to work together with partners like Trajectory to lead Illinois towards a stronger and more adaptable energy future. ”

Blue Gamma Solar supports the goals set forth in Illinois' landmark Climate and Fair Employment Act (CEJA), which commits the state to achieving 100% clean energy by 2050. This type of project fully considers community leadership and interests during construction, which is key to achieving these ambitious goals.

The establishment of Blue Gamma Solar is another move after Nexamp announced last year the establishment of a second headquarters in Chicago, further consolidating the company's commitment to Chicago.
