LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As part of its sustainable energy initiative, Bank OZK (Nasdaq: OZK) (the \u201cBank\u201d) broke ground today on its Arkansas-based $6-million solar power plant. Once complete, the 4.8-megawatt array will produce enough electricity to power the Bank\u2019s new corporate headquarters in Little Rock and up to 40 Bank OZK locations throughout the state. Currently, it is the largest renewable energy investment by a financial services company in the state of Arkansas.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn industry innovator, Bank OZK has a bold vision for the future, which includes a strong commitment to sustainable and clean energy,\u201d said Tim Hicks, Chief Credit and Administrative Officer at Bank OZK. \u201cThis solar power plant will allow us to reduce our carbon footprint by 160,000 tons over the next 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Arkansas Public Service Commission and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation approved the Bank\u2019s plans for the solar power plant in March 2021. Scenic Hill Solar, LLC, of North Little Rock, Arkansas, will oversee construction of the 11,000-panel, single-axis array. The facility is expected to generate more than 8.1 million kilowatt-hours annually. Located in Stuttgart, Arkansas, it will be the state\u2019s third-largest commercial solar facility dedicated to a private sector customer.<\/p>\n
