"A West Baton Rouge Parish solar farm capable of supplying thousands of homes with power was plugged into the capital region's electrical grid as it began operating this week. Construction crews for months have planted nearly 200,000 solar panels in constructing Capital Region Solar, a nearly 600-acre facility built on a former sugarcane field near Port Allen. The farm generates 50 megawatts of energy, which is the equivalent daily demands to power 9,600 homes, and is now stitched into the power grid for Entergy customers across Louisiana. Its completion is part of a broader effort by Entergy to create more renewable options in the state, Entergy Louisiana CEO and President Phillip May said in a statement announcing the solar farm was online."
