US energy company Southern Power, a subsidiary of utility the Southern Company, has acquired a 150MW solar PV plant in Wyoming from PV manufacturer Qcells USA.
The US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management has given its final environmental approval for what will be the first utility-scale PV project developed in the state of Wyoming.
A new Senate Bill submitted to the Wyoming legislature last week bars utilities from providing any electricity to the state that is derived from large-scale wind or solar projects by 2019.
