Public Service Commission to take up plan to add new fossil fuels to energy mix

In this mention

Georgia's Public Service Commission will hold a hearing on Georgia Power's proposal to build three new dual-fuel turbines at Plant Yates to meet growing energy demands, particularly from data centers. Bryan Jacob, solar program director for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, argues that utilities should move away from fossil fuels rather than commit to new gas projects, and that other procurement options should be fully explored before approval. Environmental and consumer advocacy groups oppose the project as premature and contrary to industry trends away from fossil fuels.
