FAQs about Georgia Energy Storage Battery BESS
Who sanctioned battery energy storage systems in Georgia?
The systems are sanctioned by the Georgia Public Service Commission through the Integrated Resource Plan. Credit: Georgia Power. US-based electric utility Georgia Power has commenced construction of new battery energy storage systems (BESS) across the state of Georgia, totalling 765MW capacity.
What is a BESS battery energy storage system?
A BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) battery system is very necessary in nowadays. It can supply electricity for daily use during power failures. The system can also store grid energy, especially renewable energy. The cost savings from this could be passed on to customers.
What is Georgia Power's 530-megawatt battery storage system?
Georgia Power breaks ground at the McGrau Ford Battery Facility in Cherokee County on April 4, 2025. This 530-megawatt battery energy storage system will consist of two phases, approved in the 2022 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) and 2023 IRP Update. Courtesy: Georgia Power.
Does Georgia Power have a Bess project?
Georgia Power is also collaborating with the Georgia PSC to procure an additional 1GW of BESS capacity through competitive bidding and is developing a 13MW demonstration project at Fort Stewart army installation near Savannah, Georgia.
Where is Georgia Power's first grid-connected Bess system located?
In February 2024, Georgia Power installed its first grid-connected BESS, the Mossy Branch Energy Facility, a 65 MW system on a couple of acres of rural countryside in Talbot County, north of Columbus, GA. It was approved as part of Georgia Power's 2019 IRP.
How many MW is a Bess project in Georgia?
As of this week, construction on those projects is officially underway. In total, 765 megawatts (MW) worth of new BESS will be strategically located across Georgia in Bibb, Lowndes, Floyd, and Cherokee counties.
