Installed capacity of 100 megawatts (MW)
Project overview
Ragsdale Solar Park is located south of Canton, Mississippi, and only a short drive away from the Natchez Trace Parkway, Ross R. Barnett Reservoir, and the Pearl River. The project will provide power directly into Entergy Mississippi’s transmission system as well as provide economic benefits to the surrounding community. The logo for the project is a guitar pick to commemorate Canton’s rich musical history and proximity to the Mississippi Blues Trail.
Ragsdale Solar Park yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Ragsdale Solar Park is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
