Business Wire
WGL Energy today joined with New Energy Equity LLC, Radiance
Solar LLC, Stion Corporation and State of Georgia officials to
celebrate the opening of a 1-megawatt (MW) solar farm in Macon
County, Georgia. The facility is expected to produce more than
1,600 megawatt hours (MWh) per year of electricity, enough to power
more than 200 homes. WGL Energy Systems owns and operates the
facility, which was completed in April 2015.
“This newest facility is a great addition in our continued
commitment to increase renewable energy capacity in the state of
Georgia,” said Sanjiv Mahan, Chief Operating Officer for WGL Energy
Systems. “WGL Energy facilities in Georgia now total more than 21
MW of capacity, reducing carbon emissions for Georgia residents
while also stimulating economic growth in the state.”
Under the Georgia Power Advanced Solar Initiative (ASI), Georgia
Power purchases electricity from participating solar facilities
under a 20-year power purchase agreement.
The Montezuma, Georgia facility, the latest WGL Energy project
in Georgia Power’s ASI program, was developed by New Energy Equity.
Radiance Solar provided engineering, design and construction
services, and installed more than 7,000 Stion Corporation frameless
thin film solar modules.
"Radiance Solar is proud to have been selected to design and
build the Montezuma facility and to be a part of the successful
collaboration with WGL Energy, New Equity Energy and the Macon
County officials,” said James Marlow, CEO of Radiance Solar. “We
are excited to have incorporated one of the industry's newest
technologies into the project with Stion's thin film modules."
