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.
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.
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.
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.
