Walton Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) has signed a contract with Silicon Ranch on behalf of Facebook for a solar project as part of its agreement to supply 100 percent renewable energy for Facebook’s data center in Newton County, Georgia.
Facebook chose Walton EMC as the power supplier for the Newton Data Center when it announced the facility in March 2018.
Silicon Ranch will fund, construct, own, operate and maintain a 107 MWac Snipesville II solar park, in Denton, Georgia, an unincorporated community in Jeff Davis County. The Snipesville II solar park will employ single-axis tracking technology that allows more than 350,000 solar modules and is scheduled in 2021. The project is expected to support more than 500 jobs during its construction phase.
