The Georgia Public Service Commission approved Georgia Power's integrated resource plan update authorizing 1.4 GW of new natural gas and oil-fired generation at Plant Yates and a power purchase agreement for coal-fired capacity. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and other environmental groups criticized the decision, arguing it prioritizes fossil fuels over clean energy like solar and wind while imposing approximately $3 billion in costs on ratepayers.
