28 MW solar project underway to power America’s first commercial cobalt refinery
SMRTR summary
EVelution Energy has broken ground on a 28 MW solar facility in Yuma County, Arizona, to power America's first commercial cobalt refinery — a direct challenge to China's dominance in cobalt processing. The $450 million facility, expected fully operational by 2029, will process enough cobalt annually to meet 40% of projected U.S. demand, while generating over 6,200 jobs and $1.2 billion in regional economic activity.
