Solar energy usage will potentially expand in Lowndes County, Mississippi. Lowndes County Supervisors say they will work with two interested solar companies in the surrounding area.
At a meeting on October 13, a LINK presentation named EON Climate Renewables and Next ERA as solar energy firms that have reached out to TVA for potential locations. Supervisors approved tax incentives through a resolution of intent. This means that if either company chooses to continue with locating in the southern Lowndes County area, some of the financial burdens will be removed.
Although these potential firms are not expected to bring a large number of jobs to the area, solar energy created at the sites would be provided to TVA.
