Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, has begun construction on a new 200-megawatt battery energy storage system $(BESS)$ in Twiggs County, southeast of Macon, Georgia. The project, located adjacent to the existing Twiggs County Solar facility, was selected through a competitive process following Georgia Power's 2023 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Update and received approval from the Georgia Public Service Commission in September 2025. The Twiggs BESS is expected to be completed in 2027 and will help enhance grid reliability and flexibility, especially during periods when renewable energy sources are unavailable. In addition to the Twiggs project, construction is underway on four other BESS facilities across the state, totaling 765 MW, with completion anticipated in 2026. Georgia Power is also seeking approval for 10 new BESS facilities with a combined capacity of over 3,000 MW and two solar-plus-storage systems as part of its ongoing efforts to diversify and strengthen Georgia's energy portfolio.
