The solar facility generates electricity sufficient to power approximately 20,500 homes annually, contributing significant tax revenue to the local community. As part of the opening event, Recurrent Energy announced a donation to the Cotton Country Players, a local theater group, to support the historic Rose Theatre in the area.

The $160 million project underscores Louisiana’s role as an energy leader, delivering clean energy while fostering economic growth and job opportunities. Guerrero added: “We look forward to deepening our partnerships as we develop and operate projects across the state.” The initiative reflects Recurrent Energy’s commitment to sustainable energy and community engagement in the region.
