As part of its sustainable energy initiatives, Bank OZK has finished building and construction of its recently announced 4.8 MW solar energy plant in Stuttgart, Ark. The 11,265-panel variety will produce enough electrical power to power the banks new home offices in Little Rock and up to 40 Bank OZK locations throughout central Arkansas. Presently, it is among the states largest industrial solar centers committed to an economic sector consumer. “After several months of construction, Bank OZK is pleased to announce that our solar power plant is fully functional,” states Tim Hicks, chief credit and administrative officer. “By shrinking our carbon footprint and offsetting our electricity use, Bank OZK continues its dedication to the environment with this brand-new source of sustainable and clean energy. The solar plant is another terrific example of how Bank OZK is a leader in the monetary services sector.” This solar panel selection is anticipated to significantly diminish the banks carbon footprint by an estimated 160,000 lots of carbon dioxide over the next 30 years, comparable to the emissions of over 390 million passenger cars and truck miles. Picturesque Hill Solar LLC, of Little Rock, Ark., managed construction of the solar energy task for the bank.
