Georgia Power announced today that construction is underway on 765-megawatts (MW) of new battery energy storage systems (BESS) strategically located across Georgia in Bibb, Lowndes, Floyd and Cherokee counties.
Georgia Power is already operating battery energy storage systems and has plans for more. The utility's 65-MW Mossy Branch BESS is located in Talbot County and began commercial operation in November 2024. Another 765 MW was authorized by the Georgia PSC and is projected to enter commercial operation in 2026, the utility said.
Georgia Power is seeking 500 MW of energy storage with the ability to discharge for at least two hours, either standalone or with associated renewable resources, the utility said Tuesday. A draft request for proposals specifies the resources should be online in 2028 at the earliest and no later than the end of 2031.
Georgia Power has applied for certification of four battery energy storage sites totaling 500 MW expected to come online in 2026. In a continued effort to limit its use of fossil fuels to mitigate peaks, Georgia Power Company is adding a whole mess of new BESS.
