Recurrent Energy, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar Inc., held a tour and ribbon-cutting ceremony at Bayou Galion Solar, a 127-MWDC solar project located in Northeast Louisiana. The project commenced operations in November 2024.
To celebrate the project’s commercial operation, Recurrent Energy welcomed local leaders to the site in Morehouse Parish. Bayou Galion Solar generates enough electricity to power the equivalent of approximately 20,500 homes annually while providing a substantial source of new tax revenue for the local community. In connection with the event, Recurrent Energy is also making a donation to the Cotton Country Players, a local theatre group, in support of the nearby historic Rose Theatre.
“The successful completion of Bayou Galion Solar marks a significant milestone for Recurrent Energy — our first project in Louisiana. This $160 million investment not only brings clean, reliable power to the region, but also drives local economic development, creates jobs, and strengthens the state’s energy infrastructure,” said Ismael Guerrero, CEO of Recurrent Energy.
Recurrent Energy previously announced that Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) acted as Coordinating Lead Arranger for the project financing totaling $160 million. Primoris Renewables Energy completed construction of Bayou Galion Solar with the support of local vendors.
