As of this week, construction on those projects is officially underway. In total, 765 megawatts (MW) worth of new BESS will be strategically located across Georgia in Bibb, Lowndes, Floyd, and Cherokee counties.
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.
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.
