Located at a 2,000-acre site in Twiggs County, Georgia, the GA Solar 4 Project is expected to become the largest solarpower plant in the south-eastern US upon completion.

Origis Energy mergers and acquisitions managing director Dries Bruyland said: “A solar plant of this size can only be accomplished with an outstanding team.

“We thank First Solar for their close collaboration. Georgia Power, Southern Company and the authorities in Georgia have been crucial to this milestone clean energy project for the state. Together, we will bring this project to successful completion.”

“The project will feature more than 500,000 of First Solar’s thin-film solar modules on single axis tracker mounts.”

Works are due to begin next month and the project is expected to create up to 400 construction jobs and ongoing tax revenues during the construction phase.
