San Ramon, CA and Nashville, TN (PRWEB) June 18, 2015 -- Silicon Ranch Corporation, one of the Southeast’s largest solar power producers, and Phoenix Solar, an international photovoltaic integrator specializing in the construction and operation of solar facilities around the globe, today announced the start of construction of a 20 Megawatt (MWAC) solar project near Hazlehurst, Georgia, about 200 miles southeast of Atlanta.

Hazlehurst Solar Farm was developed by Silicon Ranch Corporation and will serve Green Power EMC member cooperatives under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement. Green Power EMC was created by Georgia’s Electric Membership Corporations in 2001 and was the first to provide green energy in the state, beginning in 2003. This addition will nearly double its green power portfolio once the new facility is completed in late 2015.

Silicon Ranch’s strategic partner, Phoenix Solar, will serve as EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractor for the project. Phoenix Solar’s globally recognized technical expertise provides Silicon Ranch an optimized solar solution with industry leading technology to meet all technical and budget requirements. The Hazlehurst Solar Farm project extends the strategic partnership between Phoenix Solar and Silicon Ranch that has resulted in the construction of several solar power facilities in the Southeast, including the largest solar installation at a U.S. auto plant for Volkswagen in Tennessee and the 38.6 MWp Social Circle Solar Farm in Georgia.

Green Power EMC President Jeff Pratt said, “We are of course excited about the environmental benefits of project, but we are equally proud of our ability to offer the benefits of solar energy to Georgia's member customers through their participating electric cooperatives. Additionally, this project will bring economic benefits to the region, moving us even further down the road to providing sustainable opportunities for our member customers and the State of Georgia.”

Matt Kisber, Silicon Ranch President and CEO, said, “As long-term owners of our projects, we take great pride in being excellent neighbours and active members in the communities where we do business and are excited about the benefits this project will bring. We have worked with Phoenix Solar many times before and are excited to break ground in Hazlehurst.”

Tim P. Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix Solar said, “With this project we will have successfully cooperated and worked together with Silicon Ranch on over 80 MWp of solar capacity in the states of Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Key to our joint success are our excellent team members within both companies whose commitment to safety, quality, and reliability has led some of the most prominent solar projects in the Southeast.”
