Crooked Lake Solar Park is a 175 MW utility-scale solar facility located in the northeast corner of Mississippi County, AR, approximately three and a half miles east of downtown Blytheville. The solar park is located in a primarily rural area and, if constructed, provides an economic benefit to the surrounding community. The solar park is sited on land leased from local landowners who recognize the benefits of hosting a solar project. Lease payments would serve as a stable, weather-resistant cash crop that complements the area’s agricultural economy. 

Crooked Lake would save more than 222 million gallons of water each year and prevent the air pollution that causes smog, acid rain, and climate change. Solar energy also enhances air quality by helping to mitigate the health effects of harmful air pollutants.
