Georgia PSC Rejects Motion to Reconsider Georgia Power's 10,000-Megawatt Expansion for Data Centers
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The Georgia Public Service Commission denied a motion to reconsider Georgia Power's energy grid expansion aimed at supporting data centers. Commissioner Peter Hubbard's proposal to decertify a 797-megawatt resource was based on a lack of customer contracts and concerns over high costs.
The commission voted 3-2 against reopening the approval of the expansion plan, which is projected to cost $15.6 billion. Georgia Power anticipates demand from data centers, although such demand has yet to materialize.
