“The Blevins project reflects Geronimo’s commitment to building energy infrastructure that delivers real value to communities,” said Gemma Smith, Vice President of Operations at Geronimo. “Working alongside partners such as Fujifilm and Bristol Myers Squibb, we’re delivering dependable power and meaningful economic investment—while advancing our shared commitment to community-focused, responsibly built clean energy.”
Blevins will service two previously announced power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Fujifilm and Bristol Myers Squibb.
“Blevins reflects how Bristol Myers Squibb is embedding sustainability into the core of our operations, not as a singular initiative, but as a strategic lever that strengthens resilience and advances performance,” said Briana Marvuglio, Executive Director, Environment & Sustainability Enablement. “By investing in renewable energy at scale, we are redefining how environmental stewardship supports long-term business continuity and drives better outcomes for the patients we serve.”
In celebration of the addition of Blevins to its ERCOT portfolio, Geronimo hosted a community event last fall with landowners, community members and project partners to highlight the many benefits the project will bring to local and state communities.
Over the first 20 years of operation, Blevins is expected to generate approximately $33.8 million in direct economic impact, including $32.5 million in new tax revenue for Falls County and the local school and emergency districts. The project supported roughly 400 construction jobs and will sustain three to four full-time operational positions over its lifetime. Above and beyond tax revenue and job creation, Blevins has pledged approximately $1.3 million in charitable giving during the project’s first 20 years of operation.
In addition to the economic benefits provided by the project, Blevins is anticipated to offset more than 9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the first 20 years of operation – the equivalent of removing roughly 101,700 vehicles from the road for one year. The project will also generate enough clean energy to provide the equivalent electrical usage of 88,900 homes annually.
