Holland & Hart represented Clearway Energy Group (Clearway), a leading integrated clean energy company in connection with the construction of, and procurement of major equipment for, the Swan Energy Center, a 650 MW solar facility in Bates County, Missouri.
Clearway announced on October 6, 2026 that it had closed financing and begun construction on the project, Clearway's first in Missouri. Representing a $1.5 billion investment, the Swan Energy Center will generate enough carbon-free electricity to power the equivalent of 200,000 homes while delivering more than $80 million in local benefits to Bates County. The facility is expected to begin commercial operations in 2028.
