PSC approves two solar facilities

JACKSON, Miss. - Mississippi’s Public Service Commission (PSC) Chairman Dane Maxwell drafted orders Aug. 4 approving $80M solar facilities for Clark and Hancock counties, according to statements from the PSC. The orders would allow developers of the Moonshot Solar project in Hancock County and the Cane Creek Solar project in Clarke County to move forward with construction plans for their solar farms, according to Maxwell's office. The projects would bring separate 78.5-megawatt electric generating stations to each county that would deliver wholesale power directly to the Mississippi Power Company/Southern Company transmission grid, the statements said. (Source: The Associated Press 08/05/20) https://www.djournal.com/news/around-mississippi/80m-solar-facilities-approved-for-2-mississippi-counties/article_0a369f8e-d168-52fe-a90f-614e5577a575.html
