State regulators to weigh Georgia Power request to increase use of fossil fuels at Coweta plant

In this mention

Georgia regulators are holding hearings on Georgia Power's proposal to fast-track construction of three methane gas turbines at Plant Yates in Coweta County to meet growing energy demand. Clean energy groups, including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, oppose the expansion as costly and environmentally harmful, arguing that renewable alternatives would be preferable. An expert witness for SACE and the Sierra Club urges the PSC to delay certification pending a new fuel recovery policy to protect ratepayers from bearing full expansion costs.
