CATOOSA, OK — April 9, 2025 — Artisun Solar, a leading commercial solar developer, announces the completion of one of Oklahoma’s largest rooftop solar projects at Steel & Pipe Supply Co. Catoosa facilities. Spanning two locations, the 2,200-kilowatt (kW) project marks a significant milestone in advancing the state’s renewable energy infrastructure. The installations, a 1,250 kW system at the Fort Gibson Road warehouse and a 950 kW system at the Bird Creek Avenue facility, are projected to offset over 58,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions during their lifespan.
“This project represents a significant step forward for renewable energy in Oklahoma,” said Kirk Kreisel, CEO of Artisun Solar. “To work with a forward-thinking company like Steel & Pipe Supply is an honor. Together, we are demonstrating the economic and operational benefits of solar energy while paving the way for future developments in this region.”
By transforming its vast roof space into a power-generating asset, Steel & Pipe Supply has positioned itself at the forefront of energy innovation in Oklahoma’s industrial sector. The solar installation will reduce the company’s annual energy costs while providing a powerful shield against rising utility rates, all without disrupting their day-to-day operations.
John Conley, Co-President of Steel & Pipe Supply, expressed his enthusiasm: “This project is a testament to our commitment to sustainable energy solutions and a prime example of how businesses in our space can reduce operational costs while aligning with long-term sustainability goals.
