HOUSTON : Orbital Energy Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: OEG) (“Orbital”), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Orbital Solar Services (“OSS”), a leader in utility-scale solar power generation facilities, has been awarded an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (“EPC”) contract (the “Contract”) to construct a 132.2MWdc/100MWac solar farm in the Southeastern United States.
The Contract calls for OSS to design, engineer, and produce a utility-scale solar array to be delivered in early 2022. Under the Contract terms, OSS will provide full utility-scale EPC services, including substation construction. The project will consist of 350,000 solar panels installed across 800 acres of land and will provide power for 20,000 homes per year.

OSS is a well-recognized industry leader with over 50 years combined experience in the delivery and management of both commercial and renewable energy construction projects.
Brandon Martin, OSS’s CEO, stated, “This second project with an industry-leading, energy company, evidences OSS’s growing reputation for its technical expertise and abilities in designing and building these large, complex, utility-scale solar projects. We look forward to commencing work on this project and continuing our relationship with this large-scale energy producer.”
