TVA, Silicon Ranch partner in the development of 70 MW solar project in Madison County
The Tennessee Valley Authority is partnering with Nashville-based solar developer Silicon Ranch to develop the 70 megawatt solar facility in Madison County. The facility will support Facebook’s operations in the region.
Silicon Ranch will fund the construction of the solar farm and will own and operate the plant. The project will create more than 350 construction jobs, with additional employment for ongoing operations and maintenance, including ranchers and farmers to care for the land.
The facility is expected to come online in fall 2022, with planned interconnection to the TVA grid through the Jackson Energy Authority distribution system, pending environmental reviews.
