About the Project
Choctaw Field Solar Project is constructing an up to 85 MW solar energy facility in Choctaw County, Oklahoma. Construction began in the winter of 2024 and will continue through early 2026. We are excited to make this clean, environmentally compatible, renewable energy generation installation a reality.
Construction
​At the start of construction, the majority of activity will consist of site preparation and earthwork, substation construction, and post and racking installation. Construction activity will generally take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or from sunrise to sunset to ensure minimal disruption of daily activity. Occasionally, some construction activities may take place at night, but they will be limited to low-sound activities. No noise or light impacts are expected to affect nearby residences. Please note, the sequencing of construction activities is subject to change due to weather conditions or other adverse events.

Transmission
The project will interconnect into the Hugo 138 kV Substation and connect to the Southwest Power Pool.
Benefits of Solar Energy
A solar project provides a healthy, productive economic development opportunity for local landowners to harvest a stable cash crop–the sun. Benefits include positive impacts on the local economy through tax revenues to local governments and support to other local services. Host communities typically experience economic boosts for local businesses and supply chains and opportunities for new jobs–primarily during the construction phase.
In addition to being safe and compatible with agricultural and rural residential uses, solar energy facilities exist in harmony with wildlife and the environment. They make good neighbors because they operate almost silently without producing odor or byproducts; or attracting additional traffic.
In the bigger picture, solar energy projects provide an abundant, earth-friendly, sustainable power resource to help stabilize electricity costs. These amazing systems lessen carbon emissions and contribute to diversifying the nation’s electricity grid.
