Oklahoma’s Green Leap: Google Backs Solar Power Expansion

### Transforming Oklahoma’s Energy Landscape: 700 MW of New Solar Projects Coming Soon

If you’ve been following advancements in the solar industry, you’ll be excited to hear that Oklahoma is becoming the latest hot spot for large-scale solar innovation. With only 376 MW of solar installed across the state currently, a new wave of solar energy projects is about to nearly triple that figure. Five planned solar facilities are set to bring an additional 700 MW of capacity to the Sooner State, proving that even states with a history of fossil fuel dependence can tap into the future of renewable energy.

I dove into the details of this impressive expansion to share what it means for Oklahoma residents and anyone curious about the solar industry’s impact.

### Breaking Down the Projects

These five solar facilities, developed as part of long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), will not only generate clean energy for Oklahoma but also underscore the growing role of corporate-backed solar initiatives. Each project will feature cutting-edge technology, including modules from one of the leading manufacturers of thin-film solar panels, ensuring efficiency and durability.

Three of the facilities—Salt Branch Solar (145 MW), Huckleberry Solar (125 MW), and Mayes Solar (102 MW)—are part of the *Mayes
