85-MW solar tracker project comes online in Oklahoma

A new solar farm, the 85-megawatt Choctaw Fields Solar Project, is now up and running in Oklahoma. It was built by Tango Holdings, a joint venture between Savion Equity and Ares Infrastructure Equity, and uses single-axis trackers, panels that pivot to follow the sun through the day rather than staying fixed in place.

The power from the project is being sold under a long-term agreement to Cargill, the agricultural company, rather than to a local utility. This means the electricity itself may not flow directly to homes in the area, but the deal helps fund the project and adds more solar power to the regional grid.

Choctaw Fields is the last of five solar projects under a joint venture announced in July 2025, together totaling 496 megawatts of capacity. All five are now fully operational. Savion developed the projects, and Shell Renewable Asset Management International will handle ongoing operations.

For homeowners, this is mainly a sign of how much utility-scale solar is being added to the grid in states like Oklahoma. It does not create a new rebate or incentive for home solar or energy upgrades, but more large solar projects coming online can mean more renewable power available in the regional electricity mix over time.
