Georgia Power, GA
The December 2025 certification of about 9,885 MW of new generation for data center load came with a promise of at least $8.50 a month of downward pressure on a typical bill in 2029 through 2031, because large customers are meant to carry more of the cost. Consumer groups warned it could instead add around $20 a month if the projected data center demand does not show up.
