AES Distributed Energy Completes 4-MW Solar PV Project in Georgia

AES Distributed Energy, a subsidiary of AES, commissioned a 4-MW solar project located in Dublin, Georgia. This system is the first of two solar PV projects being developed by AES Distributed Energy and its partners, collectively expected to supply 20 MW to the Georgia Power utility grid. The second, 16 MW project, is under development and is expected to be operational in the first half of 2016. Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, will purchase 100% of the energy production from both projects from AES Distributed Energy pursuant to 20-year PPAs. Gregory Electric Company is serving as EPC contractor for the two projects, collectively designed with 26 MW capacity utilizing SolarWorld panels mounted on Array Technologies single-axis trackers. Schneider Electric central inverters deliver the rated 20 MW power.
