Independent power producer Treaty Oak Clean Energy, LLC announced it has entered into a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Google in which it will supply 100 megawatts (MW) from the Redfield Solar Project in Grant County, Arkansas.
Google will be the sole offtaker, using the clean energy to power its data centers across the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) region.
The Redfield Solar Project broke ground early this year after reaching its financial close of $123 million in December 2024.
During construction, the project created 275 construction jobs and is expected to generate $9 million in local and state tax revenue throughout its useful life. The revenue will go toward roads, schools, and public services; Treaty Oak also donated $100,000 to the county library for an expansion.
“This agreement marks another significant milestone for Treaty Oak and underscores our ability to structure and deliver scalable clean energy solutions tailored to the needs of sophisticated energy buyers like Google,” said Rohit Ogra, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Treaty Oak Clean Energy, LLC, in a statement. “Through our agreement with Google, we continue to demonstrate our ability to deliver profitable projects that meet the evolving needs of corporate and institutional energy buyers, while also providing lasting economic benefits to our local community partners.”
Google’s collaboration with Treaty Oak represents a broader shift toward decarbonized operations and resilient energy sourcing.
Will Conkling, Director of Clean Energy and Power at Google, added, “Strengthening the grid by deploying more reliable and clean energy is crucial for supporting the digital infrastructure that businesses and individuals depend on. This collaboration with Treaty Oak Clean Energy will ensure a steady supply of reliable, affordable, and clean energy for our data centers, resulting in a stronger grid and healthier future for Arkansas.”
The Redfield Solar Project is on track for completion by Q2 2026.
