Last Week Georgia Power executives presented a plan to the state Public Service Commission to build battery energy storage systems at four locations, including near Robins AFB, Moody AFB, Plant Hammond in Floyd County, and the McGrau Ford Battery Facility in Cherokee County. These projects will add 500 megawatts of generating capacity as part of Georgia Power’s effort to increase their energy-supply portfolio by 6,600 megawatts. Jeff Grubb, the company’s director of resource policy and planning, emphasized the importance of these investments for meeting the state’s growing electricity needs. Quarterly reports on spending and construction progress will be submitted to the Public Interest Advocacy Staff per an agreement with Georgia Power, with a vote on the projects scheduled for December 3 by the PSC.
