Electricity in Georgia: A Data Center Advantage

Electricity pricing in Georgia is below the regional and national average and is highly competitive with other major data center markets. Additionally, Georgia Power’s generation fuel mix offers customers a variety of options including options to purchase renewable energy credits (RECs).

Georgia Power's Flex REC Program and Clean and Renewable Energy Subscription (CARES) Program provide customers with affordable and environmentally-friendly energy options. For more information on these programs visit Georgia Power's Flex REC and CARES Program websites.

A Southeast Leader in Renewable Energy Initiatives

Georgia Power continues to work with the Georgia Public Service Commission through the established IRP process to identify the right mix of resources — including the new nuclear units at Plant Vogtle, cleaner natural gas, and renewable energy — to provide reliable and affordable energy for a growing Georgia. Currently, 33% of Georgia Power’s generating capacity is carbon-free and includes solar, nuclear, wind, biomass, and hydro. Southern Company is the 4th largest owner of renewables in the U.S.
