Constellation, United Renewable Energy add 1.8-MW array to Georgia cattle farm

United Renewable Energy (URE) and Constellation, an Exelon Company, announced the completion of a 1.8-MWdc solar generation project located at Hunter Farms, a 360-acre, family-owned cattle farm in Jakin, Georgia. The Hunter family, which established its company in 1937, will benefit from lease payments from a tracking solar array situated within marginal and over-used land. “Projects like this provide much needed income to landowners like Hunter Farms, Inc. In the farming economy, where diversification is increasingly vital, this project brings a nice cash crop to augment their top quality, animal-welfare-approved beef,” said William Silva, CEO of URE. “Constellation again proved to be the landowner’s and developer’s best choice to finance a unique and exciting project.” “Constellation is committed to powering a cleaner and brighter future for our customers and communities,” said Brendon Quinlivan, executive director, distributed energy origination at Constellation.
