Redfield Solar Project Marks the First Operational Asset from Treaty Oak Clean Energy, Offering Lasting Local Benefits
Treaty Oak Clean Energy, LLC (Treaty Oak), a U.S. independent power producer (“IPP”), today announced its Redfield Solar Project located in Arkansas achieved commercial operations last month, marking a major milestone for Treaty Oak and its growing portfolio. Located in Grant County, Arkansas, the Redfield Solar Project is a 1,033-acre, utility-scale renewable energy facility with 100 megawatts of clean energy capacity. The Redfield Solar Project supports regional grid reliability across key Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) subregions and contributes long-term, renewable power to meet growing energy demand.
“Reaching commercial operation at the Redfield Solar Project underscores Treaty Oak’s ability to deliver scalable clean energy projects that strengthen grid reliability while creating real economic impact at the local level,” said Chris Elrod, co-founder and CEO of Treaty Oak. “As our first operational asset, the Redfield Solar Project reflects not only our team’s commitment to responsible development, but also the collaboration and trust built with local stakeholders and our contractors along the way.”
The Redfield Solar Project announced financial close on $123 million in financing in December 2024 and broke ground in early 2025. During construction, the Redfield Solar Project created approximately 200 construction jobs and is expected to generate an estimated $9 million in local and state tax revenue over its lifetime – funds that can be used to support public services such as roads, schools and emergency response. As part of its broader commitment to the community, Treaty Oak donated $100,000 to the county’s local library to support its expansion.
Elrod added, “The Redfield Solar Project serves as an important proof point for how independent power producers can help meet growing demand across the MISO region. By adding new, locally sourced generation in Arkansas, the Redfield Solar Project supports a more reliable energy system that can help the state meet continued economic and industrial growth ambitions. Assets like the Redfield Solar Project play an important role in ensuring the grid has the capacity it needs, when and where it’s needed most.”
