Georgia Power, a subsidiary of The Southern Company, has reached a settlement agreement with the Georgia Public Service Commission Public Interest Advocacy Staff that would resolve its All-Source Certification Proceeding for 2028-2031 if approved. The agreement covers approval and certification of 9,885 megawatts of requested resources at each project’s individual cost. It includes Company-owned projects with approximately $16.3 billion of projected capital investment, excluding allowance for funds used during construction, with about $14 billion expected between 2026 and 2029, subject to construction monitoring by the Georgia PSC.
Georgia Power would also agree to file its next base rate case so that incremental revenue from large load customers provides downward pressure of at least $556 million per year for 2029-2031. This amount is described as equivalent to about $8.50 per month, or approximately $102 per year, for a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month. The settlement requires Georgia PSC approval, with a vote scheduled for December 19, 2025, and the ultimate outcome remains uncertain.
