Georgia Power Plant Energy Storage Project
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 construction of a swath of new battery energy storage systems (BESS) to help answer the call of data centers and mass electrification.

FAQS about Georgia Power Plant Energy Storage Project
Will Georgia Power offer more battery energy storage projects?
In that filing, Georgia Power signaled its intention to solicit bids for more storage- another 500 MW- in the near future. Battery energy storage projects are popping up all over the U.S., which added nearly 4 GW of storage capacity in the second quarter of this year alone, according to a recent report.
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.
What is the Georgia Power Company Integrated Resource Plan Update 2023?
Earlier this month, Georgia Power Company submitted its 2023 Integrated Resource Plan Update (2023 IRP Update) to the Georgia Public Service Commission, which includes an Application for Certification for four battery energy storage systems totaling 500 MW.
What do we know about Georgia Power Projects?
Georgia Power included attachments with information and data on each of the proposed projects, but since they contained “sensitive terms and conditions” and cost information, they were nearly entirely redacted from public disclosure- deemed “trade secrets.” Here’s what we do know about those projects:
Where is Georgia Power's first grid-connected Bess system located?
In February 2024, Georgia Power installed its first grid-connected BESS, the Mossy Branch Energy Facility, a 65 MW system on a couple of acres of rural countryside in Talbot County, north of Columbus, GA. It was approved as part of Georgia Power’s 2019 IRP.
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.
Is energy storage power safe for household use
Based on an evaluation of various aspects relating to energy storage systems in residential environments, the findings indicate that 1. energy storage systems are generally safe for residential use, 2. several safety features and regulations exist to mitigate risks, 3. proper installation and maintenance are crucial for ensuring safety, 4. user education plays a vital role in minimizing hazards.
