Southern Power, the independent generating arm of Atlanta-based utility Southern Company, acquired its third utility-scale PV project in Texas in less than a year, buying the 102MW Lamesa project from RES Americas. The project was originated in 2013 by developer BNB Renewable Energy Holdings, with RES coming on board last year as joint developer. RES will build and maintain the project for Southern, with construction to kick off imminently and slated to wrap up in mid-2017.
