Construction is set to start later this summer on the solar carport and energy storage system project at the Valencia amusement park.
Work on the project is expected to be completed in late 2023 or early 2024 depending on weather and other circumstances.
The 12-megawatt solar carport energy structure will be installed over Magic Mountain’s visitor parking lot and part of the employee parking lot. The sea of solar canopies will also provide shade for visitors’ cars in the vast parking lot — another key benefit at a park known for high temperatures.The solar panels will generate enough energy to power all 20 roller coasters at Magic Mountain and the rest of the rides year round and offset 100% of the park’s energy usage.
The massive undertaking will be California’s largest solar energy project and the world’s largest renewable energy site built by a for-profit organization. The Magic Mountain solar farm will produce 7,900 kilowatt hours of power daily and 20.8 million kilowatt hours of energy annually — equal to the electricity used by 2,900 homes.
