According to the company, the plants totalling 90MW capacity will be located at Fort Stewart near Savannah, Fort Benning near Columbus and Fort Gordon near Augusta.
Georgia Power claims that the projects, once completed by the end of 2016, would be the largest solar generation facilities operating on U.S. military bases.
The company will develop the projects as part of its updated Renewable Resource Action Plan filed with the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC).
Georgia Power renewable development vice president Norrie McKenzie said, "Through constructive regulation and thoughtful energy policy planning, Georgia is leading the way in developing cost-effective solar generation for customers."
"The agreement with the U.S. Army not only marks another step for Georgia Power’s solar initiatives, but further enhances the state’s position as a solar leader and will strengthen both the bases and the surrounding communities," McKenzie added.
Georgia Power said that it will have a solar portfolio of about 900MW by 2016 and in the coming years, over 500 new solar projects would be brought online through existing solar programs including the Large-Scale Solar initiative and Georgia Power Advanced Solar Initiative.
