Georgia Power and Solar Design & Development Team Up for 19 MW of Solar Projects

July 5th, 2012 by Zachary Shahan

Georgia Power and Solar Design & Development (SD&D) have teamed up to develop and install a number of solar projects totalling 19 MW around the southern state. This is reportedly “Georgia Power’s first retail utility-scale solar power development,” Georgia Power writes.

“When complete, the projects will more than double Georgia’s solar production.

“The 19 MW of solar capacity, part of Georgia Power’s 50 MW large-scale solar initiative approved last year by the Georgia Public Service Commission, will be added to the company’s growing renewable energy portfolio. Georgia Power has contracted to purchase the output for the next 20 years.”
