NextEra Energy Resources (NEE) and Entergy Corp. (ETR) said construction started on the Chicot Solar Energy Center, a utility-scale solar energy project in Arkansas.

A subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources is developing the project and will build, own and operate it. The energy will serve Entergy Arkansas customers under a 20-year power purchase agreement.

The solar center will span 825 acres and construction will last about 11 months. The facility will feature 350,000 photovoltaic solar panels and have a capacity to generate 100 megawatts of electricity, or enough to power more than 18,000 homes, the companies said.
