The 127MWdc Bayou Galion Solar project is located in the north east of the US state Recurrent Energy, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar, has officially opened Bayou Galion Solar, a 127MWdc PV project located in north east Louisiana. To celebrate the project’s commercial operation, Recurrent Energy welcomed local leaders to the site in Morehouse Parish for a guided tour and ribbon cutting ceremony. Bayou Galion Solar generates enough electricity to power the equivalent of approximately 20,500 homes annually while providing a substantial source of new tax revenue for the local community. In connection with the event, Recurrent Energy is also making a donation to the Cotton Country Players, a local theatre group, in support of the nearby historic Rose Theatre. Ismael Guerrero, chief executive of Recurrent Energy, said: The successful completion of Bayou Galion Solar marks a significant milestone for Recurrent Energy—our first project in Louisiana. This US$160m investment not only brings clean, reliable power to the region, but also drives local economic development, creates jobs, and strengthens the state’s energy infrastructure. We are honored by the trust placed in us by Morehouse Parish. Louisiana has long been an energy leader. We look forward to deepening our partnerships as we develop and operate projects across the state. |
