Treaty Oak Clean Energy has commenced construction on a 385 MWac solar portfolio in Louisiana, comprising Beekman Solar and Hollis Creek Solar. The projects, financed with approximately $809 million, aim to meet the energy demands of Meta's AI data center in Richland Parish, with a targeted operational date in the first half of 2027.

Utilizing single-axis trackers from Nextpower, the solar facilities will generate clean energy linked to long-term Power Purchase Agreements with Meta, contributing to the regional grid. The construction is expected to create about 300 jobs and generate over $100 million in state and local tax revenue, benefiting community services in Morehouse and Sabine Parishes.
