Southern Power, a wholesale energy provider and subsidiary of Southern Company, recently acquired two solar facilities: the 200 MW Millers Branch Solar Facility in Haskell County, Texas, and the 150 MW South Cheyenne Solar Facility in Wyoming.
These projects are a part of Southern Power’s overall 5.28 GW renewable fleet, which now consists of 30 solar and 15 wind facilities operating or under construction.
Millers Branch is expected to achieve commercial operation in the fourth quarter of 2025. Once operational, the electricity and associated renewable energy credits generated by the facility will be sold under a 20-year virtual power purchase agreement with Thermo Fisher Scientific, which uses the renewable energy certificates to drive progress toward its net zero-by-2050 commitment.
Construction of the South Cheyenne Solar Facility, Southern Power’s first solar facility in the state, is currently under way. The project was developed by Qcells USA, which is also providing the engineering, procurement and construction of the project, as well as serving as the module supplier. It is expected to achieve commercial operation in the first quarter of 2024.
“These two acquisitions represent a significant milestone for Southern Power as we are entering these projects with expansion opportunities,” says Southern Power President Robin Boren. “The Millers Branch and South Cheyene facilities enhance our solar portfolio and exemplify our commitment to the continued growth of Southern Power as we build the future of energy.”
Southern Company expects to have approximately 20 GW of renewable capacity by 2030.

Have you ever wondered why every dictator in human history follows the exact same playbook? Check this outPlato nailed this 2400 years ago, and it’s been on “rinse/repeat” ever since.
On average, I meet perhaps 50 K-12 teachers each year, and I often ask them: What is the biggest challenge you face that impacts your ability to connect with and educate your students?
Here’s a rough tabulation:
Screen time, how it robs kids of their ability to pay attention, impedes social interaction, and makes parenting more difficult: 80%
Everything else combined: 20%
Maybe this is a cynical viewpoint, but it seems like that world of today revolves around the mega-corporations profiting by punishing their customers.
In this case, we have the tech giants ruining the lives of our children. Elsewhere, we have healthcare industry driving people into bankruptcy, Big Oil ruining our planet, the gun lobby murdering our kids, and, of course, an ultra-corrupt government looting our treasury to pay off billionaire donors.
Note that this wasn’t the case when we boomers were growing up 60 years ago. This is a distinctive shift from the 1960s when corporate America was focused on things like color TVs and the Ford Mustang.

Is a Team of Is a Bunch of MAGA Thugs Beating the Snot Out of a Woman a New Low, or Is it What We Now Need to Expect?
Just when we think there is a bottom, the United States sinks just a bit lower. It’s our brand nowadays.
That’s quite a left cross this thug delivered to this helpless female protestor.
It wasn’t too long ago that beating up women was taboo in America. My 11-year-old, sixth-grade son saw a male classmate of his badly bruise a girl by pushing her hard down to the ground–and proceeded to punch him in the mouth. A fellow father witnessed the scene and told me, “Your son’s fist was in that kid’s teeth within a fraction of a second.”
I had brought him up to avoid violence and achieve peaceful resolutions to conflicts, but I couldn’t fault him here.
What a disgusting bunch of turds we’ve become.
