Solar Farms in Alabama: FAQ
- How many solar farms are in Alabama?
- 14, with 907 MW of nameplate capacity between them, spread over 12 counties. That is the EIA-860M operating count for 2026-07.
- Is there a map of Alabama solar farms?
- Yes — the map above. Each dot is one solar farm, sized by nameplate capacity and placed at the coordinates EIA files for it.
- Which is the largest solar farm in Alabama?
- Muscle Shoals, at 227 MW. The table is sorted largest first, so the rest follow it.
- Is there a solar farm near me in Alabama?
- The county roll-up below groups every plant by county, which is the quickest way to find the one closest to a given town.
- Which grid operator runs Alabama's solar farms?
- No single ISO or RTO covers most of them. EIA files each plant against its own balancing authority, which in Alabama is largely a vertically integrated utility rather than an organised market.
- How current is this, and what is left out?
- EIA-860M for 2026-07. Solar photovoltaic and solar thermal, with and without storage. Utility-scale only: EIA-860M starts at 1 MW, so rooftop solar is not here. Plants below 1 MW are not surveyed by EIA and so are absent; retirements and additions after 2026-07 arrive with the next monthly release.
