USA, Mississippi: Recurrent Energy, LLC, a leading developer of utility-scale solar & energy storage project developer, is reportedly building a solar farm project in the Mississippi Delta.
The project has been carried out by the company on behalf of Entergy Mississippi LLC. It will become the largest utility-owned solar plant in the state, after the Mississippi Public Service Commission approves the same.
Recurrent Energy is planning to complete the construction of the solar farm before mid-2022.
Entergy will own the facility once the construction process is completed. The renewable energy, emission-free solar plant will be built on nearly 400 ha of land in Sunflower County. The plant will also connect to the transmission grid of Entergy in Ruleville.
According to Haley Fisackerly, president and CEO of Entergy Mississippi, the company is excited to gain commission approval for the largest solar farm in Sunflower County. The plant will help meet the changing demands and expectations of customers in a sustainable way while diversifying the fuel supply.
The solar plant project will be a photovoltaic generator tracking on a single axis. It will also be able to successfully generate 100 MW of renewable energy through its 350,000 PV modules, which is enough to power over 16,000 homes.
Entergy Mississippi has been serving nearly 450,000 customers across 45 counties by providing electricity. Entergy Corp. owns and operates several power farms with the electric generating capacity of around 30,000 MW, including 9,000 MW of nuclear power.
