The filing does not state a typical-bill impact we can verify. We will add one when the commission staff or the consumer advocate publishes it.
Georgia Power's Integrated Resource Plan is the long range generation and demand forecast the company files with the Georgia PSC roughly every three years. The 2025 IRP, filed in this docket and centered on a stipulated agreement, projected large electric load growth over the following six years driven mainly by data centers and other large industrial customers moving into Georgia Power territory. The Georgia Public Service Commission approved a stipulated version of the plan on July 15, 2025. The IRP does not set specific customer rates by itself, but it sets the framework and demand forecast behind the new power plants Georgia Power later asked to certify, which do eventually flow into customer bills.

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.
Since February 2025, new loads of 100 MW or more must sign custom contracts of up to 15 years with financial guarantees and minimum bills, which is the rule meant to keep data center grid costs off residential rates.
