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.
This builds upon Georgia Power's current plans to add more than 1,500 MW of BESS in the coming years, according to Georgia Power. The Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) approved the RFP as a part of the company's 2022 integrated resource plan (IRP).
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.
