September 5, 2023

It was announced recently that Recurrent Energy, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar, plans to build a $112 million solar farm in Kiowa County near Quartz Mountain State Park and the City of Hobart.

According to a report from Power Technology, the 120MW North Fork solar plant plans to sell the electrical power to the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority under a 15-year agreement. The OMPA will use the power for its 42 municipally owned electric systems in the state. North Fork will be the first solar farm to be used by the OMPA.

The solar farm should be operational in June of 2024 and according to the report, generate enough energy for 35,000 homes a year. During construction, an estimated 250 temporary local jobs will be created. Once the solar farm becomes operational, three full-time employees will be needed.

Recurrent Energy is headquartered in Ontario, Canada and began development of the project in 2018. It also selected Blattner Energy as the engineering, procurement and construction partner for the project.

Once construction is completed, Recurrent Energy will own and operate the project through its Power Services business as a part of its commitment to growing the number of renewable energy projects in its operating assets portfolio.
