“It’s a privilege to work with them and see a business in a big industry care so much about the environment. And our principles aligned together with the White Oak Pastures way and Silicon Ranch. They acknowledge it and respect it, and it’s really neat working alongside someone that has the same values.”
– John Benoit, Director of Livestock, White Oak Pastures
Silicon Ranch’s Clay Solar Ranch, a 106MWac solar project located in Clay County, Georgia, came online at the end of 2022.
Watch the video to learn more about a few of the unique characteristics of this project, including:
- Before construction, Silicon Ranch partnered with local ranch White Oak Pastures to “pre-seed” the site with cover crop and perennial seeds to stabilize soils and begin restoring the land.
- Silicon Ranch developed and funded a private Gopher Tortoise Sanctuary in partnership with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, relocating tortoises from this solar site and surrounding projects (with room for more!).
