A new utility wants to harness the sun to power Georgia.
Robert Green, founder of Georgia Solar Utilities hopes the Public Service Commission will approve a 90-megawatt solar power plant in Putnam County over the expected opposition of Georgia Power.
"One megawatt will service and take care of a Super-Target shopping mall," Green tells WSB.
He lists the advantage of solar.
"We don't have fuel costs. We don't have to maintain big coal-fired generating plants and we don't have any environmental hang-overs to deal with," he points out.
Georgia Power has signed off on a separate 50-megawatt solar plant in Social Circle, which could be online in 2015.
