ATLANTA â Georgia energy regulators have authorized Georgia Power Co. to move forward with plans to buy 970 megawatts of solar power from five other utilities.
The state Public Service Commission voted unanimously in favor of five power-purchasing agreements Georgia Power intends to pursue during the next couple of years.
The 30-year PPAs are among Georgia Powerâs renewable energy programs the PSC signed off on when it approved the utilityâs 2019 Integrated Resource Plan.
Georgia Power is required to submit an IRP to the commission every three years showing what sources of electrical generation it intends to rely on to meet customer needs during the next 20 years.
