Steel River Energy Center Solar Project

under construction

Steel River Energy Center is the nation's largest solar energy project located in Wilson, Arkansas. It consists of three phases, with the first two phases supplying energy to Google. The project will create approximately 700 construction jobs per phase, generate an estimated $300 million in local tax revenue, and is expected to create around 1,400 jobs in total. Upon completion in 2029, it will have about 2.5 gigawatts of solar capacity and 2.9 gigawatts of battery storage, generating enough electricity to power more than 315,000 Arkansas homes annually.
