Downs Farm Solar: FAQ

Where is Downs Farm Solar?
In Hertford County, North Carolina (NC). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.
How big is Downs Farm Solar?
5 MW of nameplate capacity across 1 unit, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns Downs Farm Solar?
EIA-860M names Cypress Creek Renewables as the reporting entity. That is the operator of record on the survey, which is not always the ultimate owner.
Is this the same as Downs Farm Solar LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Cypress Creek Renewables here — not the project company that holds the asset. Project companies are commonly registered as an LLC carrying the plant's name, so a search for "Downs Farm Solar LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is Downs Farm Solar still running?
