The Wildwood Solar farm project marks a significant step toward renewable energy development in the region. Spanning 1,000 acres, this facility will utilize state-of-the-art technology to generate solar power, contributing to Mississippi's clean energy goals. The site preparation phase has already been underway for several months, with infrastructure being laid out to accommodate the vast array of solar panels and storage systems that will be part of the project.

The facility will be one of the largest solar farms in Mississippi, providing a clean, sustainable energy source to Entergy Mississippi. The power generated will be sold through a 20-year power purchase agreement, ensuring a reliable, long-term energy solution for the region. This partnership is expected to help reduce the state’s carbon footprint while providing economic benefits to the local community.

Wildwood Solar’s commitment to environmental stewardship extends beyond just generating renewable energy; the site will be rehabilitated to minimize the environmental impact of the construction process, aligning with the company’s sustainability goals. As work continues, local contractors and workers are expected to benefit from job opportunities related to the construction and future operations of the facility.

The solar farm is expected to contribute significantly to Mississippi’s growing renewable energy portfolio, helping to diversify the state’s energy mix. Once operational, it will produce enough electricity to power thousands of homes, supporting the state’s efforts to transition toward more sustainable energy sources while creating long-term economic opportunities in Tallahatchie County.
