Two large-scale Alabama Power renewable energy solar projects were officially opened in April when ribbons were cut at the Fort Rucker and Anniston Army Depot solar fields. Both solar plants are the result of collaboration between the U.S. Army, the respective Army installations and Alabama Power.
“Our gathering here today represents a significant milestone,” Jim Heilbron, senior vice president and senior production officer at Alabama Power, told the group assembled at Fort Rucker. “It was a little less than a year ago that we broke ground for the Fort Rucker solar project, and it is wonderful to see how far we’ve come.”
The 10-megawatt project at Fort Rucker comprises more than 115,000 solar panels on 90 acres. The Anniston Army Depot project comprises more than 87,000 solar panels and also approximately 90 acres. It is a seven-megawatt plant.
