The Conway Corporation Board of Directors has approved a 20-year purchase power agreement with Lightsource BP, a global solar leader, for the development of a 132 MWdc solar energy project in White County, Arkansas. 

Lightsource BP will finance, build, own and operate the facility and will deliver the solar energy it generates to Conway Corp under the fixed-rate power purchase agreement.

The Conway Solar project is located on 700 acres near Happy, Arkansas, approximately 55 miles northeast of Little Rock. It will supply clean energy to Conway Corp’s customers in the city of Conway and will generate enough electricity to power more than 21,400 homes. The project will also play a role in reducing the city’s carbon footprint by the equivalent of CO2 emissions from 35,270 fuel-burning cars.

The project expected to go online at the end of 2022.
