SCE&G selects developer for Otarre Solar facility
June 29, 2017
SCE&G has selected TIG Sun Energy IV to develop a 1.62 megawatt solar facility in Cayce’s Otarre development corridor. The solar facility will be located adjacent to the corporate campus of SCANA Corporation, SCE&G’s parent company, and will put onto the electric utility’s system enough energy to power more than 250 homes.
TIG Sun Energy IV, an affiliate of The InterTech Group, will finance, own and operate the solar facility and has engaged Hannah Solar Government Services (HSGS) to engineer, design and build it. TIG Sun Energy also developed the Jerry Zucker Solar Park, SCE&G’s first utility-scale solar facility and the first one developed under South Carolina’s Distributed Energy Resource Act (DER) of 2014.
The Otarre solar facility will help SCE&G exceed its goal of generating at least 42 MW of utility-scale solar under DER by 2020.
TIG Sun Energy and HSGS expect to complete the 6,156-panel facility by November 2017.
