Energy completed development, construction and commissioning of thirteen
solar projects in Georgia totaling 43 MW of generation capacity.
SolAmerica developed, engineered and constructed the projects, and Safari
Energy will be their long-term owner and operator.
Landowners, neighbors, and local governments in eleven counties
worked in collaboration with SolAmerica and Safari Energy to bring these
projects to completion, securing low-cost clean energy for ratepayers, spurring
economic development, and increasing the tax base.
The projects in this portfolio will provide energy directly to
Georgia Power through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) under Georgia
Power’s Renewable Energy Development Initiative.
“SolAmerica has been an incredible partner throughout the process of getting this solar portfolio up and running in Georgia. This is a great example of Safari Energy working with a solar developer to provide project funding and to operate the renewable energy projects upon completion. In the past year alone, our solar asset acquisition business has acquired over 100 MW and we now own assets in seven states from coast to coast,” said David Heyman, CEO of Safari Energy.
