Georgia Power’s capacity overestimation risks higher customer bills
Reports to the Public Service Commission (PSC) reveal that Georgia Power may be overestimating the electricity generation capacity needed for data centers. Experts warn that this overcalculation could result in unnecessary expenses passed on to customers.
Details from PSC staff and experts
- Georgia Power has requested approval for new generation capacity to support data center growth.
- Analysts find that the company’s projections for future demand appear inflated.
- This overestimation could lead to excess infrastructure investments.
- The additional costs from these investments risk increasing customer electricity bills.
Direct quote from experts
"Georgia Power’s request for new capacity is based on data center demand estimates that may not materialize, potentially causing customers to pay more than necessary."
The reports suggest the commission carefully scrutinize the company’s capacity needs to avoid financial burdens on consumers.
This situation calls for precise demand forecasting to prevent overbuilding that increases consumer costs without real benefit.
