AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Solar & Data Centers: Google is buying power from Cypress Creek’s Steel River Energy Center in Mississippi County, Arkansas—1.6 GW of solar plus 1.9 GWh of battery storage in the first phases, with the full 2.5 GW/2.9 GWh buildout targeted for 2029—another sign of how AI demand is pulling in major clean-energy projects. Mississippi Energy/Environment: A new Saharan dust forecast says Mississippi could get a brief break around July 16-17, then a thicker wave is expected to roll in from Arkansas by Saturday, with air-quality impacts possible. Mississippi Agriculture: Organic production is growing in Mississippi as farmers respond to rising consumer demand; MSU Extension is helping with training and marketing as more growers consider converting acreage. Mississippi Infrastructure & Water: Pearl River County is planning a weir rehabilitation to restore flow to the East Pearl River, aiming to support recreation, wildlife habitat, and nearby communities, but no construction timeline is set yet. Manufacturing Spotlight: Donkey Forklifts marked 40 years in Bay Springs, highlighting Mississippi-made industrial equipment and the “Original Donkey” legacy. Policy Watch: A letter from 30+ groups urges the U.S. Senate to oppose year-round E15, warning it could raise food and fuel costs.
