Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, has filed nearly 2 gigawatts of new customer contracts with the Georgia Public Service Commission $(PSC)$. These contracts are the first to be established under recently approved rules and regulations by the Georgia PSC, which are intended to provide Georgia Power with increased flexibility in serving large-load customers, such as data centers, while preventing additional costs from being passed on to residential and small business customers. The company's latest filings include updated projections for customer demand and economic growth, indicating a need for additional generation resources. The new regulatory framework requires large-load customers to meet more stringent criteria, such as upfront infrastructure payments and long-term financial commitments, to ensure only viable projects are pursued. Georgia Power is currently engaged in ongoing negotiations with other potential large-load customers, reflecting continued economic growth in the state.
