The Georgia Public Service Commission approved a plan from Georgia’s largest utility that addresses electricity needs for new data centers.
The Integrated Resource Plan will allow Georgia Power to have a production rate of between 6,000 and 8,500 megawatts of energy. The Public Service Commission staff questioned the need in a hearing held in May.
“We conclude that the forecast provided by Georgia Power is very likely skewed to show load realization sooner, and in greater quantities than is likely to materialize,” said Robert Trokey, director of the electric unit for the commission.
The plan requires Georgia Power to file quarterly Large Load Economic Development Reports.
