The first solar power plant in Clarksville has been generating power for the last 18 months.

The City of Clarksville is going for a first in Arkansas by expanding its solar power plant to run 100 percent of its city operations on renewable energy. The city is already generating some of its electricity from a 6.5-megawatt solar power plant that was built in 2017 and this year, Clarksville Connected Utilities will be adding another 2.86-megawatt facility.
