Why Clarke County
The Origis Approach to Siting
As we approached the region for a solar farm, we choose a location CAREFULLY AND THOUGHTFULLY. Origis solar projects are Located near existing energy infrastructure and where they can best benefit the electric grid. Project development teams consider the area's solar resources, evaluate potential environmental impacts and find landowners who want to sell or lease their land for the project. Through careful planning and site engineering
SOLAR FACILITIES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS.
Solar Resources
Alabama has significant sun resources - much of the same sun that helps the local agriculture and timber industries. Clarke County is in a part of the state with great solar resources.
Demand
There needs to be an electric demand and an interest in purchasing solar energy. In Alabama development is driven by cost declines and demand for carbon-free power by large commercial and industrial users.
Energy Infrastructure
The project features access to nearby transmission lines, which lowers the cost of the energy produced by the facility and allows the project to serve homes and businesses throughout
the region.
Enviornment Evaluation
Wetlands, protected species and critical habitats are all thoroughly documented and avoided when siting a potential project.
Cultural
If cultural resources are observed, sensitive artifacts are left untouched.
Eager Landowners
Local landowners who might be willing to sell or lease their property are identified.
