Louisiana Proposes $98M Solar Farm
The push for solar power and renewable energy, combined with interest from huge utility companies like Cleco, Lafayette Utilities System, and Entergy, is seeing Louisiana receiving yet another proposal for a solar farm in the state.
Louisiana has seen a recent demand for solar farms since these key players in the utility industry announced they would begin buying solar power. In fact, recent bid records indicate that Entergy Louisiana has shown interest in renewable energy and solar farms in southeast Louisiana.
In addition, Bayou Galion Solar Project LLC, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar (a solar panel manufacturer) and Recurrent Energy Development Holdings, has submitted a proposal to the state of Louisiana to build a 98.1-megawatt solar farm that could potentially provide power to over 20 thousand nearby homes. The new solar farm would be positioned on 1,000 acres of land outside of Bastrop that is currently being leased from landowners.
