Overview
- Georgia Power held a ribbon cutting for the Moody Battery Facility on Monday after completing the 49.5 MW system co-located with the Moody Solar project near Valdosta, Georgia.
- The battery can deliver 49.5 MW for four hours, storing daytime solar output for use during higher demand to support local grid reliability.
- Moody was built ahead of schedule with Crowder Engineering involvement and is one of a group of BESS projects approved through Georgia Power’s Integrated Resource Plan.
- The company is advancing the rest of the IRP‑approved package totaling about 715 MW across other Georgia sites while the Georgia Public Service Commission has separately approved more than 3,000 MW of additional battery projects and two solar-plus-storage projects totaling 350 MW.
- Pairing batteries with existing solar helps capture low-cost midday generation and smooth supply for customers, and the approvals and project pipeline make financing, contracting, and siting the key factors that will shape how quickly the broader program comes online.
