The project is expected to generate enough clean energy to power approximately 30,000 Arkansas homes annually and is expected to deliver an estimated $16 million in economic impact to the region over its lifetime — funds that can help support local public services and infrastructure. The project reached substantial completion on schedule at the end of last year.
“Reaching commercial operation at the Cherry Valley Solar Project underscores Adapture’s ability to deliver scalable clean energy projects that strengthen regional grid reliability while creating real economic impact at the local level,” said Thomas Houghton, President and CEO of Adapture Renewables. “This milestone reflects not only our team’s commitment to responsible development, but also the collaboration and trust we built with local stakeholders and our contractors throughout construction.”
Adapture drew on its full suite of in-house development, EPC management, legal, and project finance capabilities to bring the Cherry Valley Solar Project from acquisition through commercial operation. The company is actively developing a growing pipeline of utility-scale solar and battery energy storage projects across the United States, building on the operational discipline and long-term ownership philosophy that have defined its approach from the start.
“Projects like Cherry Valley demonstrate how developers can help meet rising energy demand with new, locally sourced generation,” added Houghton. “By adding reliable renewable capacity in Arkansas, the Cherry Valley Solar Project supports a more resilient energy system and contributes to the state’s continued economic growth.”
Acquired, financed, and constructed in just over two years, Cherry Valley represents the final project to achieve commercial operation within Adapture’s Titanium Portfolio, a three-site, 441 MW portfolio spanning Arkansas and Illinois.
