Georgia''s renewable energy capacity can
Additionally, preliminary findings suggest there are around 4GW of wind and 4.5GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity yet to be exploited.
National Solar Capacity Ranking: 7th Data Current Through: Q1 2025 Georgia's solar and storage market has taken off in recent years, landing it a top spot in SEIA's national solar rankings. During the 2024 session, an industry-supported decommissioning bill was passed after much collaboration and effort.
Accordingly, Georgia Power is planning for more generation, with ongoing investment into existing power plants, including nuclear, and integration of more natural gas, while adding 4 GW of renewable resources, boosting the proposed portfolio to around 11 GW by 2035. That indicates new additions of 1.1 GW in renewables.
Customer-sited solar PV and battery storage, also known as behind-the-meter systems, refer to systems installed on the customer side of the utility meter. This means that solar generation and energy discharged from a battery meet onsite needs for electricity before any excess electricity is exported to the utility grid.
Furthermore, around 4 GW of wind and 4.5 GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) unexploited capacity have preliminarily been identified by the assessment. Despite this potential, domestic energy production currently supplies less than a quarter of Georgia's total energy needs, leaving the country heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels.
Over the next six years, the utility projects approximately 8.2 GW of electrical load growth, up more than 2.2 GW overall when compared to projections in its 2023 IRP Update, an update that was approved by the Georgia state body, the Public Service Commission or PSC, in April 2024.
State resourcing plans are increasingly updating battery energy storage systems (BESS) plans, especially those tied to solar. From ESS News Resource Plan (IRP) with the first update since 2023 showing further acceleration in the utility's adoption of (BESS).
Additionally, preliminary findings suggest there are around 4GW of wind and 4.5GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity yet to be exploited.
