A renewable energy development group has started work on the first of three planned solar-plus-storage projects in Mississippi that will serve both residential and industrial customers.
Origis Energy of Miami, on Oct. 11 said the three installations will have total solar power capacity of 550 MW, along with a total of 150 MW of energy storage.
The projects are being built for the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which said they represent the largest battery energy storage portfolio to date in Mississippi. Origis is developing, and will oversee construction and operation, of all three sites.
The projects include Golden Triangle II (150 MWac, 50 MW storage), which is expected to enter commercial operation next spring; Golden Triangle 1 (200 MWac), 50 MW storage), expected online next summer; and Optimist, (200 MWac, 50 MW storage), scheduled for completion in mid-2025.
The Golden Triangle installations are located in Lowndes County, along the Alabama border, with Optimist sited in Clay County.
Solar Energy Industries Association, in a data report through June, said Mississippi ranks 36th among states in installed solar generation capacity. SEIA said the state is expected to add about 1.8 GW of new capacity, including the Origis projects, over the next five years.
