Georgia Power is seeking 500 MW of energy storage with the ability to discharge for at least two hours, either standalone or with associated renewable resources, the utility said Tuesday. A draft request for proposals specifies the resources should be online in 2028 at the earliest and no later than the end of 2031.
Georgia Power is already operating battery energy storage systems and has plans for more. The utility's 65-MW Mossy Branch BESS is located in Talbot County and began commercial operation in November 2024. Another 765 MW was authorized by the Georgia PSC and is projected to enter commercial operation in 2026, the utility said.
Projects online by Nov. 28, 2031, will be given preference. The RFP targets energy storage capacity included in the company's integrated resource plan approved by the Georgia Public Service Commission in 2022. The soliciation is part of Georgia Power's ongoing efforts to add renewables and bolster the reliability of its electric grid.
Earlier this month, the PSC approved five new utility-scale solar site power purchase agreements for Georgia Power, consisting of a total of 1,068 MW that will be built by third-party companies. Plans for the renewable generation were also included in Georgia Power's 2022 IRP.
