Cypress Creek & Google Break Ground on America’s Largest Solar Project
Google and Cypress Creek are collaborating on the Steel River Energy Center, the largest solar energy project in the US, which will include 2.5 GWdc of solar and 2.9 GWh of battery storage. The project aims to provide clean energy to power Arkansas's growing industrial economy and meet the state's increasing demand for power. Solar and battery storage accounted for 91% of new electricity-generating capacity in the first quarter of 2026, supporting over 1.4 million jobs in the clean power industry. The project is using 100% U.S.-made components, benefiting the local economy and creating jobs, while Cypress Creek has committed $3 million to community initiatives in Mississippi County to support sustainable energy infrastructure and create lasting value through responsible development and community partnerships.
