Southern Company’s South Cheyenne Solar Facility in Wyoming now operational

Southern Company’s Southern Power, a U.S. wholesale energy provider and subsidiary, announced that the 150 MW South Cheyenne Solar Facility in Laramie County, Wyoming, is now operational. This project, Southern Power’s 30th solar facility, is Southern Power’s first solar facility in Wyoming. The electricity and associated renewable energy credits generated by the facility will be sold under a 20-year power purchase agreement with Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power, a subsidiary of Black Hills Energy. The energy will be used exclusively to provide renewable energy to a data center customer. Southern Power acquired South Cheyenne Solar Facility from Qcells USA in September 2023. With the addition of South Cheyenne, Southern Power’s solar portfolio includes more than 2,740 MW of solar generation.
