As per the terms of the agreement, Recurrent Energy will develop the solar project on approximately 1,000 acres of land in Mississippi’s Sunflower County.

Equipped with Canadian Solar’s high-efficiency modules, the solar power project is expected to generate clean energy sufficient to power more than 16,000 homes in the region. It is expected to become operational in mid-2022.

During the construction phase, the project is expected to create approximately 360 employment opportunities.

Entergy Mississippi president and CEO Haley Fisackerly said: “Once the Sunflower solar facility is complete, we’ll be able to offer renewable energy as part of our customers’ energy mix. This facility represents one more way we are building the utility of the future.”
