This week, CPV Retail affiliate, CPV Renewable Power, announced the commencement of operations at CPV Stagecoach Solar; an 80-MWac solar power generation facility in Macon County, Georgia.
Utilizing over 180,000 bi-facial solar panels and single-axis tracking to maximize energy production, the project will help avoid nearly 80,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year by displacing generation from older, nonrenewable facilities. This is equivalent to removing approximately 16,000 cars from the road.
“Our vision for a reliable, low carbon electric supply includes a substantial amount of solar and wind which requires an accelerated build out of this technology,” said Gary Lambert, CEO of CPV. “Having the plan is only one part of the equation – actual execution takes a tremendous amount of collaboration and effort from everyone involved. We are proud to be celebrating alongside the local community and our partners as we bring emission free generation to the grid.”
“Bringing our second utility-scale solar project online in just a few months shows CPV’s commitment to a lower carbon future. By working with partners and the local community, we can use our industry experience to help create a reliable, sustainable grid,” said Sean Finnerty, President of Renewables for CPV. “Of course, we would not be reaching this milestone if it were not for the support of both Andersonville and Macon County throughout the development and construction process. Our team looks forward to our continued engagement and being part of this community for many years to come.”
CPV Stagecoach Solar is the company’s second recent utility scale solar project to enter operations after CPV Maple Hill Solar and joins five operating wind projects in the company’s renewable portfolio alongside ~4 GW of additional renewable projects and ~5GW of low carbon projects in active development. Combined, CPV’s portfolio of renewable and low carbon dispatchable generation projects will help to ensure reliability and drive decarbonization in a responsible way.
