Georgia Power has unveiled a new battery energy storage facility at the former Plant Hammond site in Floyd County, marking a new chapter for the property that once housed a major coal-fired power plant.

A major Georgia Power energy project in Northwest Georgia is nearing completion, with the company preparing to place a 57.5-megawatt battery storage facility in Floyd County into service later this year.

Georgia Power will hold a public meeting on March 24 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Rome-Floyd E.C.O. Center, 393 Riverside Parkway, to share details and gather community input on its proposed groundwater remediation plan for Plant Hammond ash ponds 1 and 2.
