Georgia’s queue profile reflects Southern Company’s vertically integrated planning. While there is strong solar and storage activity, gas dominates the totals, though not all filings represent unique projects.
Georgia Power has filed multiple interconnection requests for the same proposed gas facilities, testing different sites to identify the lowest-cost and most feasible interconnection points. This process inflates the gas total in the queue. In practice, the state will not see the full 17.9 GW of gas developed.
In its 2025 CPCN filing, Georgia Power advanced about 8 GW of new gas, which aligns with independent reviews of the queue showing that much of the listed capacity is duplicative. The queue data therefore provides important insight into utility planning, but the actual gas buildout will be significantly smaller than the headline total.
Georgia by the Numbers
- Solar: 8.6 GW
- Hybrid: 6.1 GW
- Battery Storage (Standalone): 8.4 GW
- Renewables Total: 23.1 GW
- Gas: 17.9 GW
- Wind: none
Resource Mix
- Gas leads at 17.9 GW. However, this figure is inflated by duplicate queue filings for the same plants at different potential interconnection points.
- Battery storage totals 8.4 GW, the largest of any state in the region.
- Solar contributes 8.6 GW, and hybrid projects add another 6.1 GW.
- No wind projects are in Georgia’s queue.
