In this mention

Georgia Power is seeking approval for a long-term energy plan based on predictions of massive electricity demand growth driven largely by data center expansion. Energy experts and advocacy groups, including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, testified before the Georgia Public Service Commission that the utility's load forecast is significantly overestimated and represents flawed planning that could result in unnecessary infrastructure costs passed to ratepayers.
