Arkansas regulators approve construction of 100 MW Searcy Solar project in White County
The Arkansas Public Service Commission has approved a new utility-scale solar project that will provide Entergy Arkansas customers with 100 megawatts of solar power and 10 megawatts of battery storage for when the sun isn't shining.
The Searcy Solar project in White County will be the largest utility-owned solar project in the state and the first to feature battery storage.
The Searcy Solar project will be built on approximately 800 acres east of Eastline Road in Searcy and will include a 10-megawatt array of lithium-ion batteries capable of storing up to 30 MW hours of electricity, which is expected to be charged and discharged daily to maximize the value of the solar energy for the benefit of customers.
