Southern Power, a leading U.S. wholesale energy provider and subsidiary of Southern Company, announced the expansion of its 29th solar project - Millers Branch Solar Facility. The Phase II expansion represents an additional 180-megawatts (MW) from the current Phase I 200 MW facility that is nearing the start of construction. The project has the potential to expand up to a total of approximately 500 MWs.
美国领先的批发能源供应商、南方公司的子公司南方电力公司宣布扩建其第29个太阳能项目——米勒斯分公司太阳能设施。第二阶段扩建意味着在目前即将开始施工的第一期200兆瓦设施的基础上再增加180兆瓦（MW）。该项目有可能扩大到总共约500兆瓦。
"We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our Millers Branch Solar Facility," said Southern Power President Robin Boren. "This 180 MW renewable energy expansion represents a clean, innovative solution to help a diverse group of customers achieve meaningful progress on their own sustainability objectives. It's one more example of how Southern Power is building the future of energy and meeting the evolving needs of our customers and communities."
南方电力公司总裁罗宾·博伦说：“我们很高兴地宣布扩建我们的米勒斯布兰奇太阳能设施。”“这项180兆瓦的可再生能源扩建项目代表了一种清洁、创新的解决方案，可帮助不同的客户群体在实现自己的可持续发展目标方面取得有意义的进展。这是南方电力如何建设能源未来并满足客户和社区不断变化的需求的又一个例子。”
The project, located in Haskell County, Texas, contributes to the company's growing renewable fleet of clean generating assets from California to Maine. Southern Power will lead the continued development and construction of both phases of Millers Branch. Phase II is expected to achieve commercial operation in the second quarter of 2026.

Cisco, Juniper Networks, IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., Cadence, Bio-Rad, PTC and a large healthcare company, with support from Sustainability Roundtable Inc., and together as members of the Net Zero Consortium for Buyers, each signed power purchase agreements with Southern Power for all the environmental attributes, such as renewable energy credits (RECs), produced by the 180 MW Phase II portion of the Millers Branch Solar Facility.
