Conway Solar

In April 2020, Conway Corp and Lightsource bp announced that they had entered a long-term, fixed-rate power purchase agreement to develop a 135-megawatt solar project – Conway Solar at Happy in White County, Arkansas. Lightsource bp has financed and will build, own and operate the facility and will deliver the solar energy it generates to Conway Corp, supplying clean energy to Conway Corp’s customers in the city of Conway.

Lightsource bp is committed to be a long-term partner of the local communities in Arkansas by contributing property tax revenue over the project life that will benefit local schools, developing a site-specific long-term land management plan that will optimize environmental benefits of the project, and creating 200 local jobs during construction of the project. Conway Solar at Happy is located on land leased by Lightsource bp from local landowners, providing families with a reliable source of revenue for 25-30 years. Conway Solar at Happy is expected to reach completion mid 2023.

Additionally, Conway Solar at Happy supports Conway Corp’s commitment to providing environmentally-sound services, enabling Conway Corp to abate 166,150 metric tons of CO2 emissions over the 20-year contract.
