Meanwhile, Georgia Power has also started construction of three 30MW solar PV facilities at three separate Army bases throughout the state. The projects, which are owned by Georgia Power, are located at Forts Benning, Gordon and Stewart, cover more than 200 acres each and are scheduled to be completed and begin delivering power to the state's electric grid by the end of 2016.

Georgia is one of the fastest growing solar markets in the US, according to Georgia Power.
