EDP Renewables North America (EDPR NA) on Feb. 19 said its 100-megawatt Ragsdale Solar Park in Mississippi started operations with Amazon contracting all of the power generated.
The solar park located south of Canton in Madison County generates enough energy to power the equivalent of more than 15,700 homes in Mississippi annually, EDPR NA said in a news release. The park became operational in the fourth quarter of 2024. Amazon has a 15-year power purchase agreement in place for electricity generated.
“The opportunity to develop utility-scale solar and contract directly with customers like Amazon, who are also committed to expanding their own presence in Mississippi, has been invaluable,” EDPR NA CEO Sandhya Ganapathy said.
Development of the solar park was started in 2016 by Acadian Renewable Energy, a joint venture between SunChase Power and Eolian, according to the release. EDPR NA acquired Ragsdale from Acadian in early 2022. The project marks EDPR NA’s second utility-scale project in Mississippi.
