Canadian Solar subsidiary Recurrent Energy marked the start of operations for the 127-megawatt Bayou Galion Solar farm in northeast Louisiana with a ribbon cutting and tour, the company said April 21.
The solar farm, which began operations in November 2024, generates enough electricity to power the equivalent of about 20,500 homes annually, Canadian Solar said in a news release.
“The successful completion of Bayou Galion Solar marks a significant milestone for Recurrent Energy—our first project in Louisiana,” said Recurrent Energy CEO Ismael Guerrero. “This $160 million 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.”
The solar farm is located on more than 1,000 acres in Morehouse Parish.
