[Solar PV: Meta and EDPR Sign 250 MW Solar PPA in Arkansas]

Published: May 7, 2026 09:31
Meta and EDPR NA signed a long-term PPA for the 250 MW Cypress Knee Solar project in Arkansas. Targeted for completion by 2028, the project supports Meta’s 100% renewable energy goal. This third agreement between the two firms brings their total contracted capacity to 545 MW. The project is expected to generate $25 million in local revenue and create regional jobs while adding significant new generation capacity.

[Solar: Europe-bound freight rates rise sharply as port congestion disrupts module delivery]
According to SMM research, freight rates for PV products shipped to Europe have increased significantly recently, with quotes on some routes rising by around USD 2,000-3,000 per high-cube container from previous levels. Meanwhile, congestion has emerged at Rotterdam and some ports in Portugal, leading to vessel schedule delays and lower container pickup efficiency. This is expected to cause certain disruptions to European module delivery schedules and temporarily push up module landed costs. SMM will continue to monitor the subsequent impact.
