SWEPCO plans to add solar energy in 2024

Southwestern Electric Power Company has announced plans to add 72.5 megawatts of solar energy by Dec. 1, 2024, through a power purchase agreement with Rocking R Solar, LLC. The proposal supports SWEPCO’s long-term plan of increasing its use of more clean energy sources, such as solar and wind.

In the filing submitted Friday, Jan. 28, SWEPCO seeks approval of the proposal from the Arkansas Public Service Commission. The proposal is also subject to review by the Louisiana Public Service Commission and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Regulatory filings in Texas will be made at a later date.
The project – named Rocking R Solar Facility – will be located in Louisiana, approximately 20 miles north of Shreveport.
