385 MW Of Solar Power To Be Developed In Louisiana Project - CleanTechnica

Treaty Oak Clean Energy is developing two utility-scale solar power farms in Louisiana—Beekman Solar (185 MWac) in Morehouse Parish and Hollis Creek Solar (200 MWac) in Sabine Parish—with a combined capacity of 385 MWac. Both projects are expected to begin commercial operations by mid-2027. The solar farms will be ground-mounted on low-productivity timberland to avoid impacting prime farmland, thereby preserving agricultural value and supporting responsible land use. The projects are anticipated to create approximately 300 construction jobs at peak and up to 10 permanent jobs over their 40-year lifespans. Energy generated will feed into the local grid within MISO’s Southern footprint, providing clean, reliable power to Louisiana communities. Meta will purchase the electricity and associated environmental attributes to advance its sustainability goals. While the total project cost and specific grid interconnection details were not disclosed, large-scale solar remains one of the most cost-effective sources of new electricity generation.
