PULASKI COUNTY, Ark. — Pulaski County officials announced that an ongoing solar array project is on schedule for its anticipated completion by the end of the year.
In November 2022, the county broke ground on the solar array at the Little Rock Port Authority, which will help save approximately $250,000 a year in current electric costs once finished.
The 4.7MW solar array, in conjunction with the county's other site by the Pulaski County Detention Center, will supply approximately 90% of the County’s electric needs with clean, renewable solar power.
According to officials with Today’s Power Inc. (TPI), the racking installation is almost finished, electrical work and fencing are underway, and transformers are expected to be installed this month.
“Today’s Power, Inc. is excited about the progress in the completion of the 4.6MW solar project to support Pulaski County. As a significant portion of the construction work is nearing completion, we are working toward Commercial Operation to commence Q4 of 2023 ” said Derek Dyson, CEO of Today’s Power, Inc.
