The Largest Solar and Battery Storage Project in the U.S.
Google is making history with a groundbreaking clean energy project in Arkansas.
1A Historic Step
Google and Cypress Creek Energy broke ground on the Steel River Energy Center in Arkansas, the largest solar and battery storage facility in the U.S. The project aims to deliver lasting economic and environmental benefits to the Mississippi County community.
2Massive Capacity
The first two phases of the project will add 1.6 GWdc of solar energy and 1.9 GWh of battery storage to the regional grid. Once completed, the facility will reach 2.5 GWdc of solar energy and 2.9 GWh of storage capacity.
3Boosting Local Economy
The Steel River Energy Center will create 700 local jobs and generate $300 million in tax revenue over the project's lifetime. Additionally, the project, supported by local steel production, will strengthen the local economy.
4Clean Energy Future
The project will store solar energy and feed it back into the grid when needed. This aims to meet rising electricity demand while keeping energy costs affordable.
5Supporting Local Communities
Google is committing $5 million to energy affordability initiatives for Arkansas residents and schools. This includes community solar subscriptions for low-income customers and energy efficiency projects in schools.
6A Sustainable Future
The Steel River Energy Center combines clean energy and economic growth. This project represents a significant step toward clean and affordable energy, powered by Arkansas's innovative workforce.
