Crooked Lake Solar Park

Project Overview

Crooked Lake Solar Park is a 175 MW utility-scale solar facility located in the northeast corner of Mississippi County, AR, approximately three and a half miles east of downtown Blytheville. The solar park is located in a primarily rural area and, if constructed, provides an economic benefit to the surrounding community. The solar park is sited on land leased from local landowners who recognize the benefits of hosting a solar project. Lease payments would serve as a stable, weather-resistant cash crop that complements the area’s agricultural economy.
