Twin Valley Electric Cooperative has broken ground on a 10-acre solar farm totaling 1 megawatt. The solar farm will be built next to a Twin Valley substation south of Mound Valley on Elk Road. Construction is expected to be completed in May. The solar farm will benefit the cooperative’s members in rural Labette, Neosho, Montgomery and Cherokee counties. Through a partnership with 11 other rural electric cooperatives in Kansas, the group will add over 20 megawatts of solar energy to a power source portfolio that powers 80,000 rural Kansas homes and businesses.
