Get a quoteIn 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.
The battery system is expected to come online as early as 2026 and is subject to regulatory approvals. “As we continue to build Georgia’s clean energy future, battery storage systems play a vital role in how we will continue to serve our customers with clean, reliable energy for decades to come.
Georgia Power seeks to add 9,900 megawatts of new energy resources through a variety of projects. The projects include natural gas generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar power, and power-purchase agreements. The proposal incorporates projects from the 2022 and 2025 Integrated Resource Plans.
