In January 2019 the EIA forecast that wind, solar and other non-hydroelectric renewables would be the fastest-growing slice of the electricity portfolio for the next two years.
In a clearing 30 minutes outside Columbus, Georgia Power is almost finished installing what it says will be the state''s largest battery storage facility yet, a 65-megawatt
This document has been developed for the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) to provide local governments a guide to planning and development of a solar power and battery

Yes, Georgia has set specific targets for energy storage deployment through the Georgia Energy Storage Initiative (GESI). The state aims to deploy 1,200 megawatts (MW) of energy storage
From coal plant conversions to solar co-location, Georgia Power''s battery strategy highlights the evolving role of storage in utility-scale energy planning.
It will utilize lithium iron phosphate Tesla Megapack 2 XL batteries, which will be paired with an existing solar project at the base. It''s expected to be online in 2026.

Georgia Power first examined energy storage in its 2019 IRP, with approval to build, own and operate 80 MW of BESS at the time. Tristan is an Electrical Engineer with experience in consulting and public sector works in plant procurement. He has previously been Managing Editor and Founding Editor of tech and other publications in Australia.
Also notable is that Georgia Power is looking at longer duration energy storage, with 3,000 MW per year of 4-hour energy storage is projected to be added starting in 2028, while 3,000 MW per year of 12-hour energy storage is planned from 2033. Small-scale BESS boost
State resourcing plans are increasingly updating battery energy storage systems (BESS) plans, especially those tied to solar. US utility Georgia Power has filed its 2025 update to its Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) with the first update since 2023 showing further acceleration in the utility’s adoption of (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.
