Cooperative Energy and Origis Energy USA began construction in May on a 52MW solar energy facility in Mississippi. Origis Energy has developed and will install and operate the electric generation site, and Cooperative Energy will purchase all power produced at the location.

The 540-acre solar site is located near Sumrall in Lamar County. The site will encompass 206,892 photovoltaic solar panels when completed in December 2017. The project will create approximately 400 jobs during construction.

"Our members have told us they want more renewable energy in our portfolio," said Jim Compton, Cooperative Energy's president and CEO. "The project provides a significant amount of solar energy to power the homes and businesses we serve. So we are responding to our members, and also providing clean, affordable energy."

"We are honored to be working with Cooperative Energy as they power more homes and businesses with solar every year," said Johan Vanhee, managing director of business development for Origis Energy. "These utility and community leaders understand that solar provides clean, affordable power while creating jobs, economic and environmental benefits."
