Madison Energy Infrastructure and Verogy have completed a 7.2-MW solar system for Beaver Water District (BWD) in Northwest Arkansas. The project is expected to generate approximately 12,300 MWh annually, meeting 15 to 20% of BWD’s electricity needs.
“This solar installation strengthens our ability to deliver safe, affordable, and reliable water to the communities we serve,” said Beaver Water District CEO M. Lane Crider, P.E. “It lowers long-term operating costs, supports regional growth, and reinforces our commitment to sustainability. Our customers will benefit from this investment for decades to come.”
Based in Lowell, Arkansas, Beaver Water District serves over 425,000 customers in Northwest Arkansas. The district has earned national recognition for sustainability, including the 2023 Sustainable Water Utility Management Award from the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies. BWD selected Madison Energy Infrastructure through a competitive RFP process to deliver the solar project, with Madison leading development, contracting, and financing, while partnering with Verogy to oversee design, procurement, permitting, and construction. BWD estimates the solar installation will generate $7 million to $11 million in lifetime savings, helping to manage long-term operating costs as demand for water service continues to rise.
