Georgia Power announced today that construction is underway on 765-megawatts (MW) of new battery energy storage systems (BESS) strategically located across Georgia in Bibb, Lowndes, Floyd and Cherokee counties.
An additional 1,000 MW of new battery energy storage is expected to be procured in the coming years through competitive bidding processes and a 13 MW demonstration project is in development at Fort Stewart Army Installation near Savannah, Georgia.
Battery energy storage projects are popping up all over the U.S., which added nearly 4 GW of storage capacity in the second quarter of this year alone, according to a recent report. Most of the new batteries- 97% of them- ended up in ERCOT, WECC, and CAISO territories.
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.
