Southern Company’s U.S. wholesale energy provider and subsidiary Southern Power announced the acquisition of its 29th solar project – Millers Branch Solar Facility – from EDF Renewables. The 200 MW facility is currently in the early stages of development and has the potential to expand up to 500 MW. The project, located in Haskell County, Texas, contributes to the company’s renewable fleet of clean generating assets from California to Maine. Southern Power will lead the continued development and construction of Millers Branch, which is expected to achieve commercial operation in Q4 2025. Once operational, the electricity and associated renewable energy credits generated by the 200 MW facility will be sold under a 20-year virtual power purchase agreement with Thermo Fisher Scientific, which uses the renewable energy certificates to drive progress toward its net zero-by-2050 commitment.
