OVERVIEW
Southern Bancorp partnered with Entegrity to develop a utility-scale solar energy project in Marianna, Arkansas, as a long-term investment in operational stability and sustainable infrastructure. The project is expected to generate approximately 2.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually while helping reduce long-term energy costs and providing greater predictability in future utility expenses.
SCOPE
- 1.5 MW-DC / 1.13 MW-AC solar photovoltaic system
- Estimated annual generation: 2.5 million kWh
- Projected system life: 30 years
- Delivery method: Turnkey solar development
IMPACT
The solar array is projected to generate approximately $7.9 million in utility savings over its 30-year lifespan, helping Southern Bancorp reduce exposure to rising energy costs while supporting greater operational resilience. By investing in renewable energy infrastructure, the organization has strengthened its ability to reinvest resources into the communities it serves while advancing its commitment to sustainable growth.
