Three projects with deep impact in one community.

18 million watts of new solar generation

Clearloop is launching three new solar projects, totaling 18 megawatts (MWdc) in partnership with the local power company, Tallahatchie Valley Electric Power Association (TVEPA) and with the support of the local economic development group, the Panola Partnership.

1 billion pounds of carbon (CO2)

The three projects will prevent over 1 billion pounds of carbon (CO2) from entering the atmosphere. Not only will these projects result in clean energy construction jobs, the investment in infrastructure often results in the biggest tax infusion for a community in generations.

3000 homes

The three projects will generate enough renewable, cost-effective energy to power approximately 3000 homes annually.

The loftier the goal the bigger the impact.

6.1 Million Watts

6.1 Million Watts of new solar generation coming to Arcadia, Louisiana

460 Million Pounds of Carbon

Will prevent over 460 million pounds of carbon from entering the atmosphere

1000 Homes

Enough energy will be produced to power approximately 1000 homes with clean energy for the lifetime of the project

Solar Project in Arcadia, Louisiana

Arcadia, Louisiana, the seat of government for Bienville Parish, is located in Northwest Louisiana. Named after the founder of New Orleans, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, Arcadia has a population of 2,600 residents, with approximately 13,000 people in the greater Bienville Parish. This diverse community has its most common employment sectors in Manufacturing, Health Care & Social Assistance, and Retail Trade.

Known locally as “Sportsman’s Paradise,” North Louisiana is home to a wide array of pristine natural areas, with its mainly rural folk landscape being sculpted by river bottomlands, piney woods, and hills. In fact, the region boasts more than four hundred miles of waterways which travelers visit from hours away to hunt, fish, and boat. North Louisiana’s cultural history is rich as well – it was the earliest settled area in the Louisiana Purchase, adding on to decades of Native American heritage. Today, North Louisiana’s parishes are intersected by I-20, one of the nation’s most critical trade and transportation corridors connecting the American South.

The location and resources of the region make it prime for innovation. In fact, the oil and gas industry began in Louisiana in the late nineteenth century when gas was discovered in northern Louisiana. Oil & gas continues to be one of the state’s leading industries, as it provides a large amount of employment and tax revenue to the area. Arcadia, and more broadly, North Louisiana, proves to be a new and exciting frontier for renewables: an area built by reliance on fossil fuels, but with the potential to be a welcoming home for clean energy generation that protects both the area’s beautiful environment as well as its culturally diverse citizens.

Impact

Clearloop creates carbon solutions for organizations of all sizes, from global corporations to small businesses and educational institutions, to decarbonize the economy and accelerate the development of new solar projects in American communities where the greatest economic and environmental benefits can be achieved. These projects reduce greenhouse gas emissions while spurring economic investment to usher in a more equitable energy transition in the United States.

We’re excited to bring this new solar project to Arcadia to help create more jobs, add to the region’s tax revenues, and shift climate action investments to accelerate grid decarbonization and help organizations achieve emissions reductions faster and more effectively. Join us in Arcadia!

Working together to clean up the grid, one community at a time.

Our first solar project, we’re excited to help expand access to clean energy in our home state by working with companies of all sizes to clean up the electricity grid in Jackson, TN.

Why We’ve Invested in Jackson, TN

Jackson, TN ties the largely rural communities between Memphis and Nashville together and serves as the hub for all commerce, healthcare, and education for the area. The Jackson community is diverse, with nearly half of the population identifying as African American. Though it’s been identified as a Distressed Community by the Economic Innovation Group, the city is already embracing the economic and health benefits of the clean energy economy.

The Clearloop solar project site is located in an industrial area of the county across the road from the Tennessee College of Applied Technology-Jackson which will be a key component in the creation of a local workforce development program for electricians and other trades in the area that will be prepared to join the clean energy economy.

In Jackson specifically, 37 watts reclaim 1 metric ton of carbon (CO2) based on the grid dirtiness. The project, which will guarantee clean energy to the community for the next 40 years, is slated to break ground on September 2, 2021, and generate clean electricity by July 1, 2022.

Our electricity is dirty

Turning on something as simple as a light switch has a more drastic impact in Jackson than in other parts of the country. In Jackson, 1038.60 lbs of carbon (CO2) are currently emitted per Megawatt Hour (MwH) of electricity generated. Compare that to California, where the exact same activity releases 786 lbs of C02 per MegaWatt Hour.  By expanding access to clean energy, we are narrowing this disparity across the country, one community at a time.

The impact of flipping the lights depends on where you live

Currently, a big part of Tennessee’s electricity is generated by fossil fuels, which create pollution and have a negative impact on the environment. By investing in solar capacity and expanding access to clean energy, we can clean up the grid and take advantage of our most abundant resource– the sun! Tennessee is a Sun Belt state, after all.

Investing in clean energy to boost economic development

The Distressed Communities Index (DCI) examines economic well-being at the zip code level in order to provide a detailed view of the divided landscape of American prosperity. While Jackson is distressed, the city is already embracing the economic and health benefits of the clean energy economy.

The Jackson community is diverse, with nearly half of the population identifying as African American.

50.5% Black or African American; 45.2% white, non-Hispanic; 1.8% Hispanic or Latino
