Two electric cooperatives, one defense contractor, a solar developer — and a whole lot of other people who had never talked or thought much about renewable energy — blew the roof off the solar market in Arkansas last year with a 12-megawatt (MW) project located near the small town of Camden.
The story behind the Aerojet Rocketdyne solar project involves a very complex, team effort. Aerojet Rocketdyne is the above-mentioned defense contractor, and all 12 MW of the project were put behind the company’s meter and sold via two innovative power purchase agreements (PPAs) developed with Silicon Ranch, the solar developer.
