IEA to build 100 MW Lumpkin solar project in Stewart County
Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. (IEA) has been awarded a 100 megawatt (MWAC) solar contract to construct the Lumpkin Solar Farm in Stewart County, Georgia. Silicon Ranch Corporation awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract.
Silicon Ranch is funding the installation of the Lumpkin Solar Farm and will own and operate the solar array. Construction of the photovoltaic generation facility is scheduled to begin immediately and is expected to be completed in late 2021. IEA’s scope of work includes the installation of owner furnished modules and full balance of system EPC construction, including all of the civil, mechanical and electrical work. More than 300,000 First Solar Series 6 modules will be installed across the 850-acre site in rural southwest Georgia.
The Lumpkin Solar Farm is part of a portfolio of projects that will provide solar power to the Walton Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) as part of the utility’s agreement to supply 100 percent renewable energy for Facebook’s data center in Newton County, Georgia.
