Georgia Power Announces Three Solar Projects at U.S. Army Bases in Georgia

LCG, May 16, 2014-Southern Company subsidiary Georgia Power announced yesterday its plans to install three, 30-MW solar energy facilities on U.S. Army bases in Georgia. The projects are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2016. Georgia Power now forecasts it will have a solar portfolio approaching 900 MW by 2016. The announcement was part of the company's updated Renewable Resource Action Plan filed with the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC).

Georgia Power will build, own and operate the three facilities, which will be located at Fort Stewart near Savannah, Fort Benning near Columbus and Fort Gordon near Augusta. The three projects will generate power at or below the company's avoided cost, the amount projected it would cost the company to generate comparable energy from other sources.

Georgia Power's Vice President of Renewable Development stated, "Through constructive regulation and thoughtful energy policy planning, Georgia is leading the way in developing cost-effective solar generation for customers. The agreement with the U.S. Army not only marks another step for Georgia Power's solar initiatives, but further enhances the state's position as a solar leader and will strengthen both the bases and the surrounding communities."
