Georgia Power retiring some coal units
but backing off on battery storage
By Dave Williams
Bureau Chief
Capitol Beat News Service
ATLANTA - Georgia Power would retire
two coal-burning units and two gas-fired tur
bines at two power plants by the beginning
of August under an agreement filed with the
state Public Service Commission (PSC)
Monday.
But the Atlanta-based utility also would
put the brakes on a proposal to develop 1,000
megawatts of energy generating capacity
through battery storage by 2030.
Representatives of Georgia Power and the
PSC’s Public Interest Advocacy Staff signed
off on the 14-page agreement.
If approved by the commission, it would
form the framework for an updated Inte
grated Resource Plan (IRP), which the utility
submits to the PSC every three years indicat
ing where it plans to get the power-generation
sources necessary to meet the needs of its 2.7
million customers for the next 20 years.
The original IRP update Georgia Power
filed last January called for retiring nine coal-
burning units, leaving only two of the four
units at Plant Bowen near Cartersville. The
utility has been phasing out coal for the last
decade amid tighter government regulation
of carbon emissions.
Under the new agreement, Georgia Power
would close two coal-burning units at Plant
Wansley near Carrollton, one gas turbine at
Wansley and a second gas unit at Plant
Boulevard in Savannah by Aug. 1.
Most of the remaining units slated for re
tirement would be closed by the end of 2028.
However, the amended IRP would leave the
decision whether to retire the two coal-bum-
ing units at Plant Bowen up to the PSC.
The agreement filed Monday also would
deny approval of the 1,000-megawatt battery
storage project Georgia Power requested in
the January IRP. It raised concerns over
whether the potential benefits of the project
would justify the cost.
However, the IRP still would ‘‘provision
ally” authorize the company to develop, own
and operate the proposed 265-megawatt Mc-
Grau Ford Battery Facility in Cherokee
County, subject to the PSC approving pro
curement and construction agreements for the
project.
Georgia Power’s plans to step up its in
vestment in renewable energy would remain
intact under the agreement. The utility is
planning to develop an additional 2,300
megawatts of solar power.
The updated IRP also retained Georgia
Power’s plans to test “tall wind” technology
by building two wind turbines 140 meters to
165 meters high capable of generating 4
megawatts each. Under the agreement, the
PSC would approve the costs of the project
but retain the right to decide later whether to
allow the utility to recover those costs from
ratepayers.
The commission is expected to vote on the
updated IRP next month.

partnership with Capitol Beat News Service,

Foundation.
