MGM Resorts Says Solar Now Powers Up to 100% of Daytime Strip Demand

A long-term supply from the Escape Solar and Storage Project adds 115 MW of generation plus 400 MWh of batteries, advancing MGM’s 2030 renewable electricity goal.

Overview

  • MGM began receiving power in December 2025 from the Escape Solar and Storage Project in Lincoln County, securing 115 MW of solar capacity and 400 MWh of battery storage.
  • The new supply, paired with MGM’s 100 MW Mega Solar Array and existing rooftop systems, enables coverage of up to all daytime electricity needs across its Las Vegas Strip properties.
  • MGM signed a 25-year power purchase agreement with Escape Solar LLC in September 2024 to lock in the project’s output.
  • Battery storage allows MGM to shift solar energy from peak production hours for use in evenings and other lower-generation periods.
  • The company cautions that seasonal and temperature-driven demand peaks may still require supplemental energy during some hours.
