Invenergy´s 160 MW Southern Oak Solar Energy Center in Georgia reaches commercial operation
Invenergy has announced the start of commercial operations at its 100th project to achieve this milestone and its largest solar project to date. The 160-megawatt Southern Oak Solar Energy Center, located in Mitchell County, Georgia, just northwest of the town of Camilla, began commercial operations in the first quarter of this year.
Southern Oak is Invenergy’s second project to deploy bifacial solar panels. The cutting-edge technology increases efficiency by capturing additional sunlight within the same project footprint.
Renewable Energy Systems (RES), a global company that provides engineering and construction services for wind, solar, transmission and energy storage projects, constructed the project.
Invenergy Services is operating the solar facility, adding to its 10-gigawatt global sustainable energy project portfolio. Invenergy will maintain ownership of Southern Oak and is under a 30-year contract to sell 100% of the energy and renewable attributes from the facility to Georgia Power through the Renewable Energy Development Initiative (REDI) program.
