# Power Supply Chain and Demand in Georgia

Vertically integrated utilities run most of Georgia's grid. 6,872 MW of new generation is planned in Georgia, 801 MW of it under construction or built and awaiting operation, against 0 MW of planned retirements through 2030. 262 data centers are identified in the state, with 60,773 MW of data center load in tracked grid queues. Residential electricity averaged 15.40¢/kWh in 2026 through July, +4.5% from a year earlier. Unemployment was 3.2% in August 2026, and construction employment is +13.2% against August 2019. The SAVRN trackers hold 60 local moratoria or restrictions for Georgia across all statuses (49 in force) and 14 named projects on the Delay Watchlist.

## What the build-out changed in Georgia

Georgia carries more data center demand than most states, and the question now is whether its grid and workforce keep pace. The data center industry now accounts for 3.3% of Georgia's economy, the 5th largest share of any state (the median state is 1.8%), counting the industry's in-state suppliers and payrolls. Data processing and hosting jobs grew 83.7% from 2019 to 2025, 5th of 46 states that disclose the industry. 60,773 MW of data center load is waiting in Georgia's grid queues, 2nd of the 11 states where SAVRN tracks data center queue load. Pushback is organized: the SAVRN trackers hold 60 local moratoria or restrictions in Georgia, 5th in the country.

Local moratoria and restrictions (60) appear by county and city in the county-by-county section. Counts include every status in the weekly tracker feeds as of October 5, 2026. The [Georgia Data Center Map page](https://savrn.com/data-center-map/georgia) counts only active local pauses and delayed or blocked projects as of its September 2 rebuild, so its figures are lower. The difference is one of definition and date.

## Georgia power, answered from the record

### How much new power generation is planned in Georgia?

EIA's August 2026 inventory lists 6,872 MW of planned generators in Georgia, 801 MW of it under construction or built. By capacity the pipeline is solar 56%, natural gas 37%, battery storage 8%. The largest single unit is Pepper Hammock Solar and Storage (1,200 MW, BrightNight Power). Owners plan to retire 0 MW from 2026 to 2030.

### Who runs the power grid in Georgia?

Non-RTO (utility-run) serves most of Georgia, which means vertically integrated utilities plan and dispatch generation under the state commission. 60,773 MW of data center load sits in tracked queues, 2nd in the country.

### How much do data centers add to the Georgia economy?

PwC's 2026 study for the Data Center Coalition credits the industry with 187,660 in-state jobs, $29.1B of GDP (3.3% of the state economy, 5th of 51) and $2.1B in state and local taxes in 2024. These are modeled estimates commissioned by the industry.

### Which data center projects are delayed in Georgia?

The SAVRN Delay Watchlist names 14 projects in Georgia, among them Project Sail (Coweta County) (900 MW), Kingston data center (Thor Equities) (150 MW), Powers Ferry Place (18 MW).

### Is planned generation in Georgia on schedule?

19 of 20 planned units of 50 MW or more not yet under construction are past the latest date to order a step-up transformer (more than 160 weeks) for their planned in-service date, and 5 gas units are past the turbine order date (about five years). They hold schedule only if equipment is already on order.

### Are electricity prices rising in Georgia?

Residential electricity averaged 15.40¢/kWh from January to July 2026, +4.5% on a year earlier, the 38th fastest increase of 51. Commercial sales, the class that includes data centers, changed +5.7%.

### Where are the data centers in Georgia?

262 data centers run by 124 operators are identified in Georgia. The largest clusters are in Fulton County (106), Douglas County (23), Cobb County (15).

### Does Georgia have a data center moratorium?

The SAVRN Moratorium Tracker holds 11 state-level measures (0 enacted) and 60 local moratoria or restrictions in Georgia, 49 of them in force, 5th most in the country.
