The Georgia Public Service Commission approved Georgia Power's request to build 10 gigawatts of new energy capacity by winter 2031—just five years away.

This represents a near-doubling of capacity, with 60% coming from fossil fuels, including five new gas power plants and YOU will likely foot the bill. Why this is dangerous: ❌ Georgia Power doesn't even need this much capacity. ❌ Promised "savings" are not guaranteed. ❌ It locks us into decades of pollution and ignores clean energy solutions We are demanding the PSC deny approval of unnecessary gas plants and schedule a full hearing. ️Feb 12: PSC Committee meets (public comment allowed) ️ Feb 17: The final vote could happen (no public comment) TAKE ACTION: Contact the Commissioners before Feb 12 and tell them to GRANT the motion for a full hearing at the link in bio.
