Georgia Power begins construction of 765 MW battery storage in Georgia
Georgia Power Company announced on May 7 the start of construction on four Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) projects with a combined capacity of 765 megawatts
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.
Georgia Power has applied for certification of four battery energy storage sites totaling 500 MW expected to come online in 2026. In a continued effort to limit its use of fossil fuels to mitigate peaks, Georgia Power Company is adding a whole mess of new BESS.
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.
In February, Georgia Power installed its first BESS, the Mossy Branch Energy Facility, a 65 MW BESS on 2.5 acres of rural countryside in Talbot County, north of Columbus.
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. Most of the new batteries- 97% of them- ended up in ERCOT, WECC, and CAISO territories.
