Georgia Power Connected Program
The Customer-Connected Solar Program, a 25-megawatt (MW) Distributed Generation customer-sited program. The new Customer-Connected Solar Program will accept applications on a first-come, first-served basis until the 25 MW Alternating Current (AC) portfolio is filled, or until January 2022, whichever comes first.
This program allows Georgia Power customers to partner with any solar developer to build a solar facility on or adjacent to a customer’s property. Georgia Power will purchase 100% of the energy generated and retire the Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) associated with a participant’s solar facility on his/her behalf, allowing the customer to claim the renewable benefits of the local solar energy.
