Simon Solar Farm
Social
Circle, GA
Crowder
completed a 30 MW solar project at the Simon Solar Farm in Georgia,
which was awarded on May 6, 2013. The 170-acre site is the largest
single solar project in the southeast. The project had a total of
three construction phases each of which Crowder successfully
completed on time and within budget despite higher than normal
rainfall and other significant challenges on site. The Simon Solar
Project is already creating a positive impact in the local community
and is a standard by which other projects can be developed in the
Southeast. The 30 MW Farm includes 170 acres of solar panels on its
approximately 250-acre property, which will made it the largest solar
farm in the Southeast. Located about 20 miles east of Atlanta in
Social Circle, Ga., this solar farm produces approximately 57 million
kilowatt hours annually, or enough to power 4,130 homes a month.
