Georgia regulators approved the retirement and decertification of all Georgia Power-controlled coal units by 2028, with the exception of the 3,300 MW Plant Bowen. Regulators also approved 2,400 MW of capacity from natural gas power purchase agreements in the coming years.
As approved at a July 21 hearing, Georgia Power would contract with Southern Power, another unit of its parent, Southern Co., for the natural gas-fired capacity between 2022 to 2028.
