Georgia Power builds utility-scale solar plants smaller than that[1]. 139 MW in the $200m price range (in 2017) certainly counts.
Add to that in order to build a $200m plant does not require $200m of liquid cash any more than buying a $500k house requires $500k of liquid cash.
$500m can put a significant amount of utility-scale solar online (although this effort does not appear to be geared to directly instantiate new power generation).
