Georgia Power is enhancing grid reliability and sustainability through Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), supporting clean, safe, and affordable energy for 2.8 million customers while integrating smart technologies like EVs and smart grids..
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are designed to address these challenges by storing excess renewable energy when demand is low and releasing it when demand is high. This capability promotes a steady and reliable supply of electricity, regardless of the variability in renewable energy. .
Georgia Power’s 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) filed with the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) anticipates approximately 8,200 megawatts (MW) of electrical load growth by 2030 – an increase of more than 2,200 MW compared to projections in its 2023 IRP update, which called for the. .
Georgia Power has requested certification from the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) for 9,900MW of new generation resources, including more than 3GW of battery storage that the utility would own. Approximately 8,000MW of the requested resources were chosen from an “all-source” request for.
