Silicon Ranch and Middle Tennessee Electric (MTE) are set to partner on the 110 MW Copeland Solar Farm, which the company says will be the largest solar facility to serve a local power company (LPC) directly in the Tennessee Valley.
It is the first large-scale solar facility planned under the Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) newly expanded Generation Flexibility Program.
On behalf of MTE, Silicon Ranch will fund, construct, own, operate and maintain the project, located in Cumberland County, Tenn.
“At Silicon Ranch, our number one priority is to support stronger, healthier and more resilient communities through the work that we do, and this mission aligns perfectly with the ethos of America’s electric cooperatives,” says Matt Kisber, co-founder and chairman of Silicon Ranch.
“Silicon Ranch is thrilled to expand this important work with MTE, the region’s largest co-op and an innovative utility that embraces its leadership role to drive the Tennessee Valley forward. We are pleased to have this opportunity to deliver more positive impacts at scale right here at home, and we thank Cumberland County for welcoming us as its newest corporate citizen.”
Construction is slated for completion in 2027.

Incompetence isn’t actually the issue with Trump.
Imagine for an instant that the president was paid $100 billion per year to run this country, and that he was given a $50 billion annual merit-based bonus if his key statistics were up that measured how well the country was doing in terms of the quality of Americans’ lives. Do you think he’d be starting useless and illegal wars that drive up consumer prices? Destroying the educational system and the environment?
Not for a millisecond.
As shown here, there are (formerly credible) people who are telling us that Trump is restoring Americans’ trust in government.
Do they truly believe this?
One of the casualties of the post-truth era is that the statements of our “leaders” no longer are required to have any basis in fact. What Jim Jordan says here is a fine example.
When he says “better” here, is he referring to runaway inflation? Trump’s purposeless and illegal war with no end in sight? His blatant corruption and criminality? His having, quite successfully, divided the American people into groups that hate each other? The enrichment of billionaires at the expense of the working class? The carefully engineered collapse of the environment so as to favor his donors in fossil fuels? The demise of the U.S. educational system?
Please be clear.
