Cypress Creek Buys Arkansas Steel River Solar‑Plus‑Storage Project From Swift Current

The three‑phase build targets full service by 2029 under a 20‑year offtake for the first two stages.

Overview

  • The facility pairs approximately 2,450 MWdc (1,500 MWac) of solar with 2,900 MWh (720 MW) of battery storage across three equal phases in Mississippi County.
  • Total capital costs are estimated to exceed $4.5 billion, placing the project among the nation’s largest new clean‑energy investments.
  • A 20‑year power purchase agreement with a technology company covers the energy and renewable energy certificates for the first two phases.
  • Project sponsors forecast more than $300 million in lifetime local tax revenue, about 700 construction jobs, and 19 permanent on‑site roles.
  • The project will use American‑made structural steel and domestically manufactured solar modules, and Cypress Creek says completion would lift its operating and under‑construction portfolio to nearly 7 GW.
