Silicon Ranch selects Black & Veatch to build 125 MW DeSoto I Solar Farm in Lee County
Black & Veatch has been selected by Silicon Ranch Corporation to build a 125 megawatt (MWAC) solar array in Lee County in southwestern Georgia, USA.
Silicon Ranch is funding DeSoto I and will own, operate and maintain it for the long term. The project will integrate Silicon Ranch’s Regenerative Energy land-management model, which co-locates solar energy production with regenerative agriculture practices. Once construction is complete, Silicon Ranch will restore the land to a functioning grassland ecosystem while keeping the project in agricultural production through managed sheep grazing using regenerative land management practices.
The DeSoto I Solar Farm will be among the biggest solar installations in the Southeast. The project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
