Georgia Power''s 2025 IRP: Further shift towards
These IRPs can be examined individually, or tracked and reviewed to understand broad changes. In Georgia, while energy demand
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.
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
Coal-fired power plants fueled more than half of generation in Georgia before 2010, but coal's contribution declined with the retirement of two-fifths of the state's coal-fired generating capacity, almost 4,900 megawatts.29 In 2021, coal fueled about 15% of Georgia's total in-state generation.
