EASTERN ARKANSAS — Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has reached agreements to buy solar power from five facilities in Arkansas. One of those is in Cross County.
Cherry Valley Solar is a 135-megawatt solar project inside the city limits of Cherry Valley. That project is being developed by TED Renewables and will generate enough power for up to 20,000 homes per year.
Cherry Valley Solar is expected to generate about $13.7 million in property tax revenue through the 40-year-life of the project. A timeline has not been provided for when the solar farm will come online.
The other agreements for Meta include the 450-megawatt Chalk Bluff Solar project in St. Francis County, the 155-megawatt Decoy Solar project in Arkansas County, the 250-megawatt Cypress Knee solar project in Chicot County, and the 200-megawatt Long Lake Solar project in Phillips County.
