Avantus has sold its Catclaw Solar and Energy Storage Project to D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments (DESRI).
Located in Buckeye, Ariz., in Maricopa County, the project features 225 MW of solar and 250 MW of energy storage. The transaction includes a long-term PPA with Arizona Public Service (APS) for the project.
Avantus was responsible for the initial greenfield development, including interconnection, site acquisition and permitting, as well as commercial negotiations with APS and the procurement of select equipment, including batteries.
“At Avantus, we are committed to pushing forward the transition to a sustainable economy by developing safe, reliable clean energy projects,” says Jason Moretz, Ph.D, Avantus’ executive vice president of Development.
“Catclaw is a perfect example of this commitment and will provide economic and environmental benefits to Arizona and the local community, while helping Arizona manage increasing demand for power during heatwaves. Today’s announcement marks the first Arizona project in our portfolio to reach this milestone and furthers our long-standing relationship with DESRI.”
Catclaw marks the fourth project Avantus has sold to DESRI, which DESRI expects to bring online in 2026.
The company says the project is designed with open spaces between the solar arrays to minimize disturbance to natural drainage patterns and preserve wildlife corridors. This approach was developed in collaboration with Avantus, the City of Buckeye and the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
Foley & Lardner served as legal counsel for Avantus.

Here’s Lucy Biggers, social media powerhouse, explaining how solar and wind energy actually aren’t free, because they require materials that need to be mined from the Earth.
Yes, Lucy. I think most of us already knew that.
It’s hard for me to understand how a person with zero training in science has any relevance to what climate scientists are telling us. If I want a good recipe for carrot soup, I don’t ask a baseball coach or an auto mechanic.
They call this woman an “influencer.” What type of idiot does she influence?
Yes, part of this is stupidity. But a larger part is that people who still support Trump at this point are desperate to believe whatever comes out of his mouth, regardless of how nonsensical it may be.
I wish my mother were still here so I could see where she would stand. She was extremely well-educated, and a voracious reader, but somehow remained a Fox News viewer until the end. I just wonder if the last 15 months may have turned her around.
Those who stand in opposition to the president have dozens of different reasons for their feelings. One, as is on display here, is that he’s an ignoramus.
