CPV Begins Operations at Stagecoach Solar in Macon County, GA

Published

on

–News Direct–

Today, Competitive Power Ventures (CPV) affiliate CPV Renewable Power announced the commencement of operations at CPV Stagecoach Solar, an 80-MWac solar power generation facility in Macon County, Georgia.

Utilizing over 180,000 bi-facial solar panels and single-axis tracking to maximize energy production, the project will help avoid nearly 80,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year by displacing generation from older, nonrenewable facilities. This is equivalent to removing approximately 16,000 cars from the road.

Our vision for a reliable, low carbon electric supply includes a substantial amount of solar and wind which requires an accelerated build out of this technology, said Gary Lambert, CEO of CPV. Having the plan is only one part of the equation – actual execution takes a tremendous amount of collaboration and effort from everyone involved. We are proud to be celebrating alongside the local community and our partners as we bring emission free generation to the grid.

Bringing our second utility-scale solar project online in just a few months shows CPVs commitment to a lower carbon future. By working with partners and the local community, we can use our industry experience to help create a reliable, sustainable grid, said Sean Finnerty, President of Renewables for CPV. Of course, we would not be reaching this milestone if it were not for the support of both Andersonville and Macon County throughout the development and construction process. Our team looks forward to our continued engagement and being part of this community for many years to come.

This was something our team worked on for a long time, bringing a solar project to this county. We are excited to see CPV Stagecoach come online and grateful to CPV for their hard work in making it a reality, said Gerald Beckham, Executive Director of The Development Authority of Macon County and Chamber of Commerce. Already we have reaped the economic benefits of the project, allowing us to inject funds into critical resources all while helping bring new clean energy to Georgia.

CPV Stagecoach Solar was constructed with the expertise of Vanguard Energy Partners, a leading solar Engineering, Procurement, Construction firm, which will also manage the day-to-day operations of the facility.

Safety was our highest priority during construction, said Geoffrey Fairclough, President of Vanguard Energy Partners. The dedication of everyone involved is evident in the high-quality result, reflecting our commitment to project excellence.

CPV Stagecoach Solar is the companys second recent utility scale solar project to enter operations after CPV Maple Hill Solar. It joins five operating wind projects in the companys renewable portfolio alongside nearly 4 GW of additional renewable projects in development. CPV remains committed to developing and bringing online a mix of renewable and low carbon dispatchable generation to ensure grid reliability and help drive decarbonization in a responsible way.

STARTRADER builds its product offering around where eligible clients are directing their attention. When significant market narratives emerge in new geographies, ensuring access to them is a core part of that responsibility.

For eligible clients, the launch provides access to a broader range of instruments across regions, sectors, and market themes.” Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER

Asante Babers Warns of the Everyday Cybersecurity Habits Putting Millions at Risk

Published

on

Cybersecurity engineer Asante Babers, based in the United States, is encouraging people to review their everyday digital habits before a simple mistake becomes a costly problem.

Colorado, USA, August 12th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Most people believe cybercriminals are only interested in large companies or wealthy individuals. According to cybersecurity engineer Asante Babers, that misconception is one of the biggest security risks people face today.

After more than 20 years designing and strengthening security systems across enterprise, government, and mission-critical environments, Babers says the majority of cyber incidents begin with ordinary decisions made by ordinary people.

“The biggest threat isn’t always a sophisticated attack,” Babers says. “More often, it’s a simple habit that someone never thought needed to change.”

Industry research supports that view:

  • More than 80% of data breaches involve stolen or weak passwords.

  • Over 90% of successful cyberattacks begin with phishing or social engineering.

  • Nearly 60% of people reuse passwords across multiple accounts.

  • Around 70% of security incidents involve some form of human error.

  • More than half of internet users have not enabled multi-factor authentication on their most important accounts.

Babers believes those numbers show that cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue.

“Every online account, every mobile device, and every email inbox is part of your personal security,” he says. “The habits you develop every day matter more than most people realise.”

The Mistake People Keep Making

One of the most common misconceptions Babers sees is the belief that installing security software is enough.

“Technology helps,” he explains. “But software can’t replace good judgement.”

He says many people unknowingly create unnecessary risk by reusing passwords, delaying software updates, or clicking on links without taking a moment to verify where they came from.

“Cybercriminals don’t always break into systems,” Babers says. “Many times, they’re invited in because someone trusted the wrong email or reused the wrong password.”

A Simple Cybersecurity Self-Check

Take a few minutes to answer these questions honestly.

  • Do you use a different password for your most important online accounts?

  • Have you enabled multi-factor authentication on your email and banking accounts?

  • Do you regularly install updates on your phone and computer?

  • Would you recognise the warning signs of a phishing email or text message?

  • Do you know what you would do if one of your online accounts was compromised?

  • Have you reviewed your online security settings within the past year?

  • Do you regularly back up your important files?

  • Are you careful before clicking unexpected links or downloading attachments?

What Your Answers Mean

If you answered yes to most of the questions, you have built strong habits that reduce your exposure to common cyber threats. Continue reviewing your accounts and stay informed as technology changes.

If you answered yes to about half of them, you already have a good foundation, but there are still opportunities to strengthen your security. Focus first on creating unique passwords and enabling multi-factor authentication wherever it is available.

If you answered no to most of the questions, now is a good time to take action. Start with your email account, update your passwords, enable additional account protection, and make sure your devices are running the latest software.

What to Do Next

Babers recommends focusing on a few practical habits rather than trying to solve everything at once.

Start by replacing any passwords that are reused across multiple accounts. Turn on multi-factor authentication for your email and financial accounts. Keep your devices updated, and pause before opening unexpected emails, text messages, or links.

“Security isn’t about becoming an expert,” Babers says. “It’s about slowing down long enough to make better decisions.”

He also encourages people to have conversations about online safety with family members, especially those who may be less familiar with today’s digital threats.

“One simple conversation can prevent a serious problem,” he says. “Awareness is still one of the strongest forms of protection we have.”

Call to Action

Take this self-check today and identify one cybersecurity habit you can improve this week. Then share it with a friend or family member. Small changes made consistently can significantly reduce your risk and help create safer online habits for everyone.

About Asante Babers

Asante Babers is a cybersecurity engineer with more than 20 years of experience designing, operating, and strengthening security systems across enterprise, government, and mission-critical environments. His work focuses on building resilient security architectures, modernising legacy infrastructure, reducing technical debt, and helping organisations and individuals better understand cybersecurity through practical, real-world education.
