Technical FAQs 4

What is Georgia Power's 530-megawatt battery storage system?

Georgia Power breaks ground at the McGrau Ford Battery Facility in Cherokee County on April 4, 2025. This 530-megawatt battery energy storage system will consist of two phases, approved in the 2022 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) and 2023 IRP Update. Courtesy: Georgia Power.

Is Georgia Power a source of emission-free energy?

Georgia Power’s fleet of hydroelectric generating units is another source of emission-free energy, with some units serving the state of Georgia for more than 100 years.

Will Georgia Power add more renewables to its energy portfolio?

Accordingly, Georgia Power is planning for more generation, with ongoing investment into existing power plants, including nuclear, and integration of more natural gas, while adding 4 GW of renewable resources, boosting the proposed portfolio to around 11 GW by 2035. That indicates new additions of 1.1 GW in renewables.

How much electrical load growth will Georgia have in 2023?

Over the next six years, the utility projects approximately 8.2 GW of electrical load growth, up more than 2.2 GW overall when compared to projections in its 2023 IRP Update, an update that was approved by the Georgia state body, the Public Service Commission or PSC, in April 2024.
