Mississippi Power Proceeds with Another Solar PV Project

LCG, April 28, 2016--Southern Company subsidiary Mississippi Power and Silicon Ranch Corporation held a groundbreaking ceremony for the state's largest solar farm yesterday in Hattiesburg. The 50-MW solar PV project is estimated to cost $100 million and is scheduled to commence operations by early 2017.

The Hattiesburg solar farm will be installed on 450 acres and will include over 600,000 solar panels. Silicon Ranch will fund, own and operate the project and has selected Strata Solar to build it. Mississippi Power will receive all of the energy and associated renewable energy credits (RECs) generated by the project. The power will be purchased through a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA).

Mississippi Power President and CEO stated, "This is the second of three major solar projects that have been approved by the Public Service Commission, demonstrating Mississippi Power's continuing commitment to cost-effective solar development. The Pine Belt region is one of the hubs of economic development in the state and our investments in renewable energy here will contribute to future growth."

In May, Mississippi Power and Origis Energy will break ground on a 52-MW utility-scale solar project in Sumrall. Last month, Mississippi Power, the U.S. Navy and Hannah Solar broke ground on a 3-4 MW solar project at the Naval Construction Battalion Center in Gulfport, Mississippi.
