London-headquartered renewable energy financier Cubico Sustainable Investments has started operations of its 135MW solar PV plant in the state of Mississippi, US.
One of the largest solar plants in the southern US state, the project represents a 30% increase in installed solar capacity in Mississippi, according to data from trade association the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). At the end of the second quarter of 2023, Mississippi had an installed capacity of 438MW for solar PV, ranking it at the bottom end of the country (36th), with most of the capacity coming from utility-scale projects such as Cubico’s.
