Georgia Power Gets Green Light To Dramatically Grow Grid To Draw Data Centers
Authored by John Haughey via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
The Georgia Public Service Commission will allow the state's largest electric utility to proceed with its $15 billion plan to build nearly 10,000 megawatts of new generation—two-thirds of its present capacity—within a decade to accommodate “large load” demand from data centers.

The five-member commission on Dec. 19 unanimously approved a “stipulated agreement” with Georgia Power Company that requires data center developers to pay capital improvement costs related to grid expansion, and that households and small businesses won't be left with the bill should projected growth not materialize as anticipated.
The decision follows months of contentious debate ...

Georgia Proves It: Stable Electricity Markets Attract Business And Growth
Authored by Kevin Doyle via RealClearEnergy,
When considering factors that spur a state's economic development and growth, how a state regulates its utilities is too often overlooked. That could not be more important now that the needs of AI and data centers have created the highest power demand in a generation, requiring a buildout of at least $50 billion just for new generation and another $250 billion for data centers.
The states which can provide stability and predictability to utilities will be the winners in this race. Georgia is proves it: Atlanta is already among the top 10 data center markets, and construction grew 76% year-over-year to 1,281 Megawatts in the first half of this year.
A big ingredient in this success is Georgia's utility regulation structure and the advantages it affords Georgians, especially when compared to deregulated states in the Northeast. The Peach State's well-regulat...
