Georgia Power has received regulatory clearance to move forward with 1,068 megawatts (MW) of new solar energy projects, further strengthening the state’s clean energy portfolio. The initiative is part of the company’s long-term strategy to expand renewable power generation while meeting the growing electricity needs of customers.
The newly approved capacity will be developed across multiple utility-scale solar projects, supporting both grid reliability and the state’s transition toward sustainable energy. Company officials noted that the projects will help reduce carbon emissions, provide cost-effective electricity, and create new economic opportunities through construction and operations.
Industry observers believe this development marks a significant step in Georgia’s renewable energy journey, positioning the state as one of the leading adopters of large-scale solar in the Southeast.
