Pioneering Utility-Scale Solar in the American Southeast
From site selection to shovel-ready delivery — Southeast Solar & Power has been developing large-scale solar infrastructure across the United States since 2002. 500 MW in operation, with another 75 MW on the way. Built on a foundation of technical excellence and disciplined execution.
WHO WE ARE
Utility-Scale Solar Development, Done Right
Southeast Solar & Power Group specializes in the development of utility-scale solar power plants across the United States. Each site is designed to support a photovoltaic solar power plant in the range of 75MW to 80MW — capacity that, on average, generates enough electricity to power approximately 20,000 homes per project.
500 MW in operation, with another 75 MW on the way.
Our work is not defined by scale alone. It is defined by a rigorous approach to detail, including site selection, transmission analysis, permitting, and risk management that produces projects delivered on time, under budget, and built to last.
Three Pillars
- Our Expertise
Southeast Solar & Power carries deep, proven expertise across every stage of the development cycle, from site selection to transmission studies, landowner agreements, environmental entitlements, engineering considerations, and negotiation of power purchase agreements.
- The Team
Our team has over 50 years of experience in the development of solar projects from large rooftop installations to large 80MW ground mounted projects.
- Our Philosophy
We pride ourselves by identifying and developing project sites that have a) lower development and operating costs, b) clear permitting pathways, c) firm transmission capacity with minimal network upgrades and, d) short development timelines.
WHAT SETS US APART
A Development Process Built on Precision
The consistency of our results is not accidental — it is the product of a proprietary site selection process called Opti-Site, developed internally over two decades of active project development. This methodology evaluates every critical factor simultaneously: transmission capacity, infrastructure proximity, land suitability, environmental conditions, community context, and project economics. The result is a site selection process that maximizes revenue potential, minimizes permitting exposure, and reduces the development timeline in ways that conventional approaches simply cannot match.
Opti-Site has been applied to over 100 utility-scale power plant sitings across the United States. It is the foundation of everything we do — and the reason our projects consistently outperform the broader market on both speed and certainty.
WHY CHOOSE US
Development Capability That Goes Beyond the Site
Finding suitable land is one step. Delivering a project that is fully entitled, transmission-secured, and financially bankable is another matter entirely. Southeast Solar & Power has built its reputation by doing both — consistently, across multiple states, over more than two decades.
01
Proven Development Track Record
500+ MW of utility-scale energy projects developed across Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and California — from initial concept through land contracts, permitting, and interconnection agreements.
02
Transmission and Interconnection Expertise
We identify viable interconnection points before selecting a site — targeting locations with existing transmission capacity that avoid costly and lengthy system upgrades. This is the single most consequential factor in development timelines and project economics.
03
Low-Risk Site Selection
04
Florida Execution Track Record
Every Florida project completed to date has achieved no significant environmental mitigation requirements, no major transmission contingency upgrades, and minimal public opposition — translating directly to faster approvals and greater execution certainty.
PROVEN IN THE FIELD
Sumter County, Florida — 150MW of Delivered Infrastructure
Two utility-scale solar projects over 1000 acres. No system upgrades required. Duke Energy Florida purchased the two projects and permitted, constructed and placed them into service in 2025 and 2026 respectively.
The Sumter County development stands as a demonstration of what disciplined, expertise driven site selection looks like when executed correctly throughout the entire development process.

HOW WE WORK
Development Cycle
Southeast Solar & Power operates at the highest-value portion of the development cycle where the greatest risks reside — the stages where expertise has the greatest impact on a project’s ultimate success or failure. We identify and develop high-quality utility-scale solar sites, advance them through the most critical stages of development, and deliver fully de-risked, construction ready assets to the right strategic partners.
Our disciplined ten-step development process — from site selection and transmission analysis through permitting, interconnection agreements, PPA negotiation, and financial modeling — is designed to produce projects that are strategically located, technically sound, financially viable, and ready for execution.
TRUSTED PARTNERSHIPS
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE FUTURE
The Same Expertise Powering the Next Generation of Infrastructure
Power availability has become one of the most critical constraints in data center site selection. The transmission access with grid capacity, minimal network upgrades site characteristics, and regulatory relationships that Southeast Solar & Power has spent two decades building are precisely the capabilities that data center developers and hyperscale operators require as they translate into low cost projects with expedited timeframes. We do not just identify land — we deliver power-aligned, development-ready sites.
Transmission-Ready Sites
Direct access to high-voltage transmission infrastructure — the same characteristics required for large-scale data center campuses.
Regulatory Certainty
Proven experience navigating environmental, zoning, and utility processes across multiple southeastern states — minimizing approval timelines and development risk.
Scale and Contiguity
Large, contiguous acreage in development-friendly jurisdictions — the site profile that hyperscale infrastructure demands.
